CHRIS Hughes shocked fans when he appeared to take a swipe at his ex Maura Higgins over her 'drunken kiss' with McFly’s Danny Jones at the Brits.
The Sun was first to reveal the I'm A Celeb stars smooched at a boozy Universal Music after-party following the main awards ceremony.
Amid all the speculation online, Chris, who was linked to the Glow Up Ireland anchor back in 2021, was accused of being the one in the video with Maura.
He posted: "I wasn't at the Brits ... and I wasn't kissing anyone x."
An insider told The Sun: "A lot of people on socials were saying it was Chris who Maura was seen kissing.
"He just wanted to clear it up, it wasn't meant to be a dig.
"Chris and Maura are pals."
Guitarist Danny, 38, and single Love Island star Maura, 34, have not yet commented on the footage.
Four years ago, Maura was spotted on a sweet date day at Thorpe Park with reality star turned ITV racing pundit, Chris.
Maura giggled as she got up close and personal with Chris, who split with former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson in 2020.
They sparked romance rumours when Maura was seen flirtatiously whispering in Chris's ear.
They continued to fuel speculation as they left the National Television Awards together in the same year.
Meanwhile single Maura hit the headlines for her "drunken kiss" at the Brits bash held at 180 Studios on The Strand in central London.
An onlooker said: “Danny and Maura seemed to be having a great time.
“They looked like they had a brief drunken kiss.
“Danny and Maura seem to have a close friendship after meeting in the jungle.
“They were talking and laughing for ages.”
