McFly star Danny Jones has shared a statement after his reported 'kiss' with Maura Higgins at the 2025 BRIT Awards.

Viral footage of the guitarist and television personality emerged online when they were seen together at Universal Music's after-party at around 3am on 1 March.

Viewers thought the clip appeared to show the pair - who appeared on I'm A Celebrity last year - sharing a kiss.

An 'onlooker' told The Sun: “Danny and Maura seem to have a close friendship after meeting in the jungle.

Taking to Instagram today (14 March), Jones issued an apology to his wife Georgia Horsley.

"Hello everyone. Sorry it's taken me a while to post this but I've taken some time out to be with those closest to me," the statement from the I'm A Celebrity winner read.

"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.

"I love you guys, thank you for your patience, understanding, and support.

"See you all soon, Danny."

Jones, 39, and Horsley, 38, got married in 2014 and welcomed their son Cooper, seven, in 2018.

The couple were pictured grabbing a coffee in London on Tuesday (11 March), which marked their first public appearance together since the scandal.

On the Wednesday, it was Jones' Birthday after he reshared a number of posts from friends and fans.

"Happy birthday to someone who can light up a room with just a simple smile," read one of the messages.
