Danny Jones joked about leaving his wife just days before 'kissing' Maura Higgins.
The McFly singer was seen at the BRIT Awards after party alongside his I'm A Celebrity co-star. The pair were spotted leaving an after-party together after they both attended the annual music bash. Just last week, Danny appeared on Rob Beckett and Josh Widdecombe's Parenting Hell podcast, where he spoke about the band and their tour with Busted, as well as parenting and his time in the I'm A Celebrity jungle.
Towards the beginning of the podcast, he joked about "leaving" his wife. Danny said to Josh about his house move: "Are you renovating? Same mate. It's a nightmare isn't it?" as Rob then joked: "Is that why you went in the jungle to get money for the renovations?" as Josh added: "To get away with it. Have my kitchen done - three weeks in the jungle." Rob then quipped that "you're honest when they go - why are you here? I've got a massive tax bill and she's left me. That's why I'm here. Give me the kangaroo d*** and let's get this done."
Danny then said: "Do you know what? I left my wife to move," before adding on jest: "I just left my wife," as all three of them laughed. Rob then called it an "awkward exclusive" before Josh chimed in: "What an exclusive." Danny then explained: "I left my wife to move house so I'm surprised she's still with me to be honest because she moved the house all by herself."
Later, Danny admitted he noticed Georgia felt "overwhelmed" when he got back. He said: "When I got back, my wife was like I think I just need to go away to a hut myself for a few days. I said go and take yourself away and have a few days. You know what it was like, she was overwhelmed. It got too much for her, I could see it in her. I was like you just need to go away."
In the lengthy chat, Danny spoke about scheduling time for him and Georgia.
"Another element to add to it as well is that it's mine and Georgia's time, it's adult time. And that's where our relationship can blossom a bit and watch something together on Netflix or have dinner together. Because those times you don't get," he said.
"You don't get them at weekends. It's a nice time to just sit down with my wife and have dinner and be like 'how was your day?' But then you're getting constantly, mummy, daddy can I have a cuddle, and it's through dinner all the time. It's difficult to balance it all."
Elsewhere on the podcast, Danny opened up about parenting - and how time with his son Cooper was the most important.
Asked what he's learned, he said: "I've definitely learned that time with my son is more important than anything. Being there for him and being present when he needs that emotional support. Like last night, I find myself slipping back into my [old] ways.
"'It's bedtime, get to bed, clean your teeth mate. Dinner's on, I'm kind of trying to cook for mummy and I've got to be here'. It does get a lot but we're all the same and some nights I'm better than others - some nights, I'm nailing life and bedtime ... The best thing I've learned is that time is hard to find but when you do find it, it's really nice. Enjoying that time - not that I've ever not enjoyed it - but when I've been distracted and someone needs my attention or needs an answer, I think that's really important. He notices it."
