Danny Jones’ wife Georgia reportedly ‘has not forgiven him’ after his kiss with Maura Higgins.
Danny, 38, who has been married to wife Georgia Horsley since 2014, appeared to kiss Love Island star Maura, 34, at a Brits after-party in early March, and the photos quickly went viral.
The McFly star later took to social media to issue an apology after the footage emerged, saying sorry to his wife and family for putting them in this situation’.
However, reports have claimed that while the pair are working through things as they were pictured together for the first time, Georgia doesn’t want to ‘come across as a pushover’.
A source told The Sun: ‘This whole situation has been incredibly embarrassing for Danny and Georgia.
‘They are keen to work through things together and move on.
‘But Georgia does not want people to think she’s a pushover and that all is forgiven already.
‘She was concerned that the photos of her and Danny together gave the impression that everything is fine, when that is very much not the case.’
It comes after Danny spoke out over the incident in a statement shared with his Instagram followers.
‘Hello everyone, sorry I’ve taken some time out to be with those closest to me,’ the I’m A Celebrity winner began.
‘I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation.
‘I love them so much, and we’ll continue to deal with this privately.’
He then thanked his fans as he concluded: ‘I love you guys, thank you for your patience, understanding, and support.’
The pair spent the night together at the event, with onlookers then filming them appearing to lock lips around three in the morning.
Maura is single after her recent split from The Only Way is Essex and Strictly star Pete Wicks, but Danny has been married for over a decade.
Sources claimed at the time that the pair ‘seemed to be having a great time’ before sharing a ‘brief drunken kiss’.
‘Danny and Maura seem to have a close friendship after meeting in the jungle. They were talking and laughing for ages,’ a source told The Sun.
Maura has yet to address the scandal, but sources informed Metro that the ordeal has hit her hard.
‘Maura doesn’t understand why she is bearing the brunt of the backlash. The social media comments have been relentless, and she’s been feeling incredibly low for the past week.
‘She wants to move on from the situation, but is worried this might not die down any time soon, or at least until Danny speaks out. Maura is thinking about Georgia throughout all of this.’
Metro has contacted representatives for Georgia for comment.
