Georgia Jones, the wife of McFly guitarist Danny Jones, has reportedly cancelled a scheduled public appearance this weekend after her husband was filmed kissing former Love Island star Maura Higgins at a BRIT Awards afterparty.
The 38-year-old model and podcast host was due to take part in a live Q&A this Saturday alongside her Mum’s the Word podcast co-host Kelsey Parker at The Baby Show at London’s Excel. However, sources claim she has now withdrawn from the event, feeling “mortified” and “humiliated” by the incident.
Neither Georgia nor Danny, who have been married since 2014 and share a seven-year-old son, Cooper, have addressed the matter publicly.
A source told MailOnline: “Sitting down for a Q&A in front of a live audience is not what Georgia needs right now. She is mortified at how this has all played out and can’t help but feel humiliated.”
The Evening Standard has contacted Georgia Jones’ representatives for comment.
The alleged kiss
The controversy erupted after The Sun published a video reportedly taken in the early hours of March 2, showing Danny Jones, 37, and Maura Higgins, 33, in close conversation in the foyer of the BRITs afterparty venue. The clip appears to show Danny leaning in and giving the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star a brief kiss before they left the event with a larger group, including McFly bandmate Tom Fletcher.
Higgins was later seen leaving alone in a taxi.
An eyewitness described the interaction, saying: “Danny and Maura seemed to be having a great time. They looked like they had 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.”
The alleged kiss comes after the pair struck up a friendship while appearing on I’m A Celebrity together last year. They reportedly sat at separate tables during the main BRITs ceremony at London’s O2 Arena before reuniting at the afterparty.
Fans react to the scandal
News of the alleged kiss has sparked widespread discussion among fans, with many taking to social media to express their shock and disappointment. Some have voiced sympathy for Georgia, who frequently shares insights into her marriage and family life on her podcast and social media. Others have questioned whether the interaction was being blown out of proportion.
“Heartbreaking for Georgia,” one fan commented on Twitter. “She’s always spoken so lovingly about her husband. This must be so painful.”
However, others pointed out that the footage remains inconclusive. “Looked like just a friendly peck to me,” wrote another user. “People need to stop jumping to conclusions.”
A marriage under scrutiny
Georgia and Danny have been together for over a decade, tying the knot in a romantic ceremony in 2014. The couple has often shared glimpses of their life together, with Georgia openly discussing the highs and lows of marriage and motherhood on her podcast.
While neither has publicly addressed the scandal, fans are closely watching for any developments. Some reports suggest that Georgia may be taking time away from the public eye to process recent events.
As the fallout from the BRITs afterparty continues, many are left wondering whether the couple will address the rumours head-on or let the speculation run its course. Either way, all eyes remain on Danny and Georgia Jones in the wake of the controversy.
