Danny Jones’ telling ‘like’ on Maura Higgins post weeks before BRIT Awards kiss

McFly singer Danny Jones liked a seductive photo of Maura Higgins weeks before the pair were filmed sharing a kiss, reports claim.

Danny, 38, and Love Islander Maura, 34, became friends after meeting in the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle at the end of last year. Months on, married Danny and Maura hit headlines after they were filmed sharing a drunken kiss at a BRIT Awards afterparty.

Danny is married to wife Georgia, 38, with whom he shares a son Cooper, seven, with. Maura is newly single after splitting from Pete Wicks, who she was dating while she was in the I’m A Celebrity jungle. Following the news of the shock kiss, it’s been reported that Danny liked one of Maura’s sultry Instagram posts – weeks before the pair were spotted locking lips.

The DailyMail claims that Danny liked a photo of Maura wearing a figure-hugging leopard print dress. The post shows Maura smiling while sporting the gown, which has a fishtail style skirt. Maura accessorised the look with a black clutch bag as she leaned against a table for the photo. Maura captioned the post with the word “ravenous” before adding a candle emoji – potentially in reference to the row of candles seen on the table behind her in the photo.

However, the apparent like from Danny is no longer visible on Maura’s Instagram post. Meanwhile, Maura has liked posts on Danny’s Instagram page since their jungle stint – including a snap of him performing on stage as part of McFly.

The post from Danny shows him with a guitar handing from a strap around his torso as he holds onto a microphone and performs to a huge crowd. As he shared the photo he wrote: “Get me back here! Looking forward to seeing you all at some shows this year”.

Maura also commented on the post with two clapping hands emojis and a black heart emoji. Maura and Danny were spotted kissing at a BRIT Awards afterparty last weekend.

Neither Maura nor Danny have publicly addressed the video of the drunken kiss. Danny has been married to Georgia for a decade and it’s been reported the kiss feels like a “slap in the face” for the former Miss England star.

“Danny and Maura insist it was totally innocent and nothing meaningful”, the source has claimed. “They got on really well in the jungle and it’s just foolish that they let themselves get caught up in something after a big party night, especially so publicly”.
