I’m A Celebrity’s Danny Jones filmed having ‘drunken kiss’ with Maura Higgins at Brit Awards party
In 2016 – when they took a hiatus – they ended up having therapy together and described their relationship as ‘complicated’.
Lead singer Tom accompanied Danny to the Brits over the weekend, and he is said to be ‘humiliated' after being unnecessarily caught up in the drama.
A source said: “Tom is by no means a party animal – in fact he made it quite clear the afterparty was not on his mind, but Danny had other ideas.
“Tom wasn't there when the pair were seen getting close, but feels he is still associated with what went on.
“He doesn’t even know Maura, he doesn’t follow her or any other Love Island stars – he just doesn’t really mix in those circles."
CRISIS TALKS
Insides told The Sun that I’m a Celebrity winner Danny held crunch talks with his wife following The Sun's video.
They revealed Danny and wife Georgia, both 38, were keen to “move on with their lives”.
A source said: “This saga has been embarrassing and Danny had a lot of explaining to do.”
Danny and Georgia have been away from their London home since the story broke.
A pal added: “Danny and Georgia have been together for a long time and have spoken about that night.
"They are keen to just move past it and get on with their lives.
“They’ve been away for a few days and they are focused on being a family unit.
“Danny and Georgia are both committed to each other and are moving on with their lives.”
