Maura, 34, had been keeping a low profile since The Sun revealed the video of the smooch with her I’m a Celebrity co-star at a Brit Awards after-party.

It led to Danny’s wife Georgia briefly moving out of their home.

A source said: “Since that unfortunate incident, Maura’s kept to modelling jobs and posting glossy social media videos, but this will be her first TV appearance.

"She’s opening herself up to ribbing and scrutiny, but the BBC has ensured the drunken kiss stays off-limits because it’s a family show.”

Maura filmed Blankety Blank at Maidstone Studios in Kent.

Launched in 1979 with Terry Wogan as the original host, the show returned to screens in 2021.

Danny, 39, meanwhile, has publicly apologised to Georgia, 38, with whom he has a son, for the drunken kiss.

He wrote on Instagram: “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."
