Maura Higgins slammed her ex Pete Wicks for 'cheating' just days before she was spotted apparently kissing Danny Jones at a BRIT Awards after party.
The Love Island star, 34, and married McFly singer, 38, shocked fans this weekend when a clip of them getting close after the BRIT Awards emerged. They appeared to share multiple kisses following the music award ceremony at the O2 Arena in London. Maura and Danny continued the party as they headed to a swanky bash together.
The I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! co-stars were seen at Universal Music's after-party at 180 Studios on the Strand in the city. Danny, who has been married to his wife Georgia Horsley since 2014 and shares son Cooper with, appeared to kiss Maura inside the venue. It's been reported they spent 90 minutes together at the event as other guests partied around them.
Shortly before 3am, Danny and Maura walked into the foyer of the venue together where the 'kiss' was captured. Maura is freshly single following her whirlwind romance with TOWIE's Pete Wicks. She appeared to fall head over heals for the Strictly Come Dancing star, 37, after they were spotted on a string of secret dates last year.
Maura even gushed about their connection while in the Australian jungle as they appeared to be stronger than ever. Pete headed to Maura's native Ireland over Christmas and the couple enjoyed multiple romantic getaways together. However, it wasn't meant to be as they called it quits on their love story on Valentine's Day.
It has since been claimed the real reason behind Maura's split was because she grew suspicious of Pete and if he was "messing her around". The former couple are said to have rowed over trust before deciding to part ways. “She felt she was proved right when she saw loads of messages with other women on his phone," a source said.
“She knew she’d never be able to feel like she could trust him — even if the messages were all innocent, it’s not something she could get past. She didn’t want to be constantly worried about what her man was doing," they added to the Sun. They explained Maura had "remained coy" and is determined to move on from Pete without bad-mouthing him.
Maura brushed off her heartbreak on Valentine's Day as she still headed out. She looked incredible in an off-the-shoulder red dress as styled her locks in a straight sleek style. Maura held hands with her male friend and was all smiles when arriving for a luxurious dinner in London. However, when asked where Pete was by photographers, Maura quipped: "Dunno, probably out cheating," according to the publication.
The TV star also sent herself flowers on the day of love as she shared a picture of a bunch of red roses. A note on the bouquet read: “To Me, Love Me.” This weekend, Maura belted out a Whitney Houston song about 'broken hearts' as she headed to a theatre in London.
Tagging her celebrity hairdresser pal Carl Bembridge, Maura appeared to be putting any heartbreak behind her as she thanked 'bestie' Carl "for an incredible night". She was heard singing along to Whitney's tune Where Do Broken Hearts Go as well as hit I Will Always Love You.
