I’m A Celebrity campmates Maura Higgins and Danny Jones could be facing an awkward encounter at this year’s National Television Awards, following their drunken kiss at a BRITs afterparty. Danny, 39, won the most recent series of ITV’s I’m A Celeb, and so will be showing up at the event – as will Maura.

The video, which saw the two share a kiss, resulted in a dicey time for Danny’s marriage to influencer and wife of 11 years, Georgia Horsley, 38. He has spent the year quietly attempting to repair their relationship after Georgia left the family home for a period of time to cool off.

Danny and Georgia share their six-year-old son Cooper, and seem to have patched things up after what could have been a marriage-ending indiscretion on Danny’s part. It comes after ITV makes major decision on I’m A Celebrity’s future after talks with officials.

While Danny attempted to win Georgia’s trust back, Maura herself kept a low profile for a short time. Their National Television Awards appearance will be a test for Georgia, although a source points out they all knew their “paths were bound to cross at some point.

Speaking to The Sun, they said: “Danny is expected to attend the NTAs on September 10, as have all previous reigning jungle winners — and Maura is also going.”

The source added: “There will have to be some clever choreography to ensure they don’t end up next to each other when walking the red carpet, but they could both end up on stage if I’m A Celebrity wins. Maura won’t be answering any questions about the kiss. She’s put the incident behind her and feels she has nothing to be ashamed of.”

McFly star Danny has put on a united front with Georgia after the couple’s testing year. The pair were all smiles as they attended the first of seven Wembley gigs for the Oasis reunion tour last month.

Mum-of-one Georgia, 38, shared a black and white photo posted on her husband’s Instagram Story. It showed her beaming as they made their way from Wembley Stadium.

Danny was looking over at her as they shared a laugh between them, showing they’ve put their rocky patch behind them and have moved on. They were joined by Danny’s mum, Kathy, who walked in between the pair in the candid snap. It’s been a tough year for the couple, with the news of Danny’s drunken BRITS kiss with Love Islander Maura sending shockwaves earlier this year.

But lucky for Danny, it appears Georgia was willing to give their marriage another try, although the pair lay low on social media since the video surfaced in March this year. Meanwhile, Maura has been keeping herself busy with work, as well as buying her new house.

The 34-year-old former Love Island contestant has earned an estimated £3.2 million in the years since she found fame on the ITV dating show back in 2019. And she has splashed the cash on a luxury new home – snapping up a five-bedroom property in the south east of England. The semi-detached house boasts an impressive garden and has huge, floor to ceiling windows that allow plenty of natural light to flood in.
