Singer Danny Jones has reportedly decided to give tonight’s BAFTA TV awards ceremony a miss – following his BRIT Awards afterparty kiss with Maura Higgins.

Danny, 39, who won the latest series of I’m A Celebrity and is a mentor on The Voice, is expected to skip the showbiz ceremony. Meanwhile, Love Island star Maura, 34, is reportedly expected to use the event as her big red carpet comeback.

The McFly star, who is married to wife Georgia and shares son Cooper with her, found himself caught up in a scandal earlier this year as he was filmed sharing a drunken kiss with single Maura at an afterparty for the BRIT Awards in March.

He later shared a public apology while Maura stayed silent on the drama. Now, it’s been reported Danny has decided to swerve today’s BAFTA TV awards while Maura is preparing to make the event her big red carpet comeback.

A source has claimed to The Sun that while Maura is expected to attend with her ‘head held high’, Danny “won’t be attending though as he is focusing on his family life and work.

Meanwhile, it’s been claimed Maura won’t answer any questions about the kiss.

Following the scandal at the beginning of March, which saw Danny and Maura lock lips at a BRIT Awards after party before heading to another after party where it was claimed they stayed up partying until 6am, Danny’s wife Georgia, 38, went to stay with a friend. Following the release of the shock video of Danny and Maura’s drunken kiss, it has been claimed Georgia had ‘moved out’ of the family home but those close to the star told us she wanted to “decompress” after a highly stressful few days, and was always coming home.

“This wasn’t some grand gesture where she suddenly packed her bags and left,” a source told us. “It was just a girlie few nights at a close pal’s flat. Yes, she wanted some space, but she is home now, and while things are still fragile, they are trying to work things through.”

Later in March, she returned to her family home. Meanwhile, Danny issued a public statement to apologise for his actions. In a statement, the McFly singer said: “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. I love them so much and we’ll continue to deal with this privately.

“I love you guys, thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. See you all soon, Danny.”

Meanwhile, Maura has continued to remain silent on the matter – after jetting to the US in the wake of the kiss scandal.
