The Sun revealed how Maura and Danny, who appeared together in the jungle last year, shared a brief kiss during Universal Music’s Brit Awards after party on 3 March.

Today Danny broke his silence and said: “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.

“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.”

Danny continued: “I love you guys, thank you for your patience, understanding and support.

“See you all soon, Danny.”

Meanwhile, just an hour before Danny uploaded his apology to his wife Georgia on Instagram, Maura had shared a series of sexy posts online.

The former Love Island star is currently in Los Angeles and posted some sizzling shots from a photo shoot to her own Instagram account.

In the snaps and footage, Maura is dressed in a little white frock, cowboy boots and a white stetson hat.

With her hair styled in beachy waves, she is sat in the back of a truck while clutching a bottle of beer.

I’m A Celeb star Danny Jones holds crisis talks with wife after ‘drunken kiss’ with jungle co-star Maura Higgins
The Sun exclusively revealed earlier this month how Danny, 39, and Maura, 34, were caught on camera sharing a ‘drunken kiss’ following this year’s Brit Awards in London.

At the time, model and social media star Georgia, 38, was at home with their son Cooper, seven.

We later revealed how Danny and Maura were spotted again sharing wine at London’s exclusive Nobu Hotel until 6am.

The pair were seen in a video gazing at each other at the fancy establishment, which they visited soon after their 3am smooch.

They then disappeared into a darkened, curtained-off side room at the hotel, with staff saying the room was only for use by guests.

DRAWING A LINE

Pals said at the time that Danny was keen to draw a line under the scandal, which saw him holding crisis talks with Georgia, his wife of ten years.

A friend said: “Danny wants to draw a line in the sand and move on.

“He has talked with Georgia, and they just want to carry on with their lives.

“His actions were incredibly embarrassing, and he has expressed how much he regrets it.

“Now is the time to move past it and try and get back to normal.”

Danny and Georgia left their home in London following the news of their kiss.

Maura also fled the UK and headed to Los Angeles for a photoshoot with Oh Polly.

She has still not spoken about the kiss.

Danny and Georgia returned to London this week and were photographed in Richmond looking tense.

The couple were spotted walking together while drinking takeaway cups of coffee and both appeared downcast.

Danny was wearing his wedding ring in the photographs, although Georgia kept her left hand firmly in her coat pocket.

Georgia has not spoken publicly about the scandal, although she returned to social media this week.

The mum-of-one took to Instagram to share a black and white photograph of son Cooper playing with a games console.

Georgia’s friend Binky Felstead wrote: “We got you girl! Adore you.”

Anna Whitehouse posted: “Love you darling. We’ve got you.”

Danny will soon return to work with McFly, with the band heading off on a nationwide tour this summer.

Meanwhile, Danny was all smiles as he stepped out in London with two of his friends on Friday.

He appeared relaxed and happy as he enjoyed a stroll with his friends just before taking to Instagram to share a public apology and address the kiss scandal for the very first time.

Danny kept things low-key wearing a black hoodie and jogging bottoms for the outing as well as a cap on his head.
