As Maura Higgins and Danny Jones find themselves at the centre of controversy following a kiss at the BRITs Universal Music after party, Mirror can reveal that Maura made a telling flirty move on the married McFly singer, 38, just hours before. The reality star, 34, placed her head on Danny's shoulder while they were laughing and chatting - signalling there was potentially more than friendship between them.
The duo spent the party laughing and chatting with one another at a table together, before also spending a long time together at the bar. They were later caught on camera by The Sun seemingly sharing a drunken kiss with one another in the corner of the bash. Danny has been married to wife Georgia Horsley since 2014, and shares son Cooper, 7, with the model.

Danny and Maura both partied at 180 Studios on the strand after the BRITs ceremony for the Universal Music after party, where stars such as Frank Lampard, Pete Wicks, Olivia Attwood and Lucien Laviscount were also letting their hair down. Maura avoided an awkward run-in with Pete, who she recently split from, as he dipped out of the party early alongside pal Olivia.
However, her Maura was just beginning her night as she spent the evening chatting with I'm A Celeb co-stars Danny and Oti Mabuse at a booth table in the party. They were later caught on camera seemingly sharing a kiss, with a source The Sun reporting that the pair looked like they had shared a 'brief drunken kiss'.
They are then thought to have party hopped over to Sony Music's afterparty at Nobu Hotel, and were reportedly in high spirits there.
Both Danny and Maura are yet to speak out on the incident, with the latter's team refusing to comment when approached by Mirror. Danny's wife, Georgia, also hasn't spoken out on her husband's alleged behaviour, but did appear on her Mum's The Word podcast on Monday to chat about their son, Cooper.
Appearing alongside co-host Kelsey Parker, the two friends reflected on the importance of living in the moment and making the most of time spent with their children. Georgia kept the discussion focused entirely on her and Danny’s son, Cooper, without referencing her husband at any point. She spoke about motherhood, their recent move, and even recounted their trip to Australia to visit Danny during his time in the I'm A Celebrity jungle without explicitly mentioning his name.
