Taking to her weekly column, mum-of-five Kerry admitted she was ‘ disappointed ‘ after seeing the clip, but said she always recommends giving a second chance if possible.

Everyone goes for the woman in these scenarios but Danny is the one who is married, so the responsibility was on him to his wife and son.

” His little boy looks up to him so to have done something like this – if it wasn’t an innocent peck – is just so sad. I feel for Georgia, but it’s hard to know what really happened. I always say that if you can give someone a second chance then try, especially if there are children involved. But it’s down to them where they go from here. “

Kerry, who has been single since November, appeared to hint at infidelity in her recent six-year relationship with fiancé Ryan Mahoney as she added”, As for me, I don’t think I’ve ever been with anyone who hasn’t cheated on me. “

Maura, Danny and Georgia are all yet to speak out on the ordeal, which saw Danny and Maura getting close at the Universal Music BRIT Awards afterparty before being filmed as they seemingly shared a kiss in the corner of the bash. Danny had attended the earlier awards ceremony with his McFly co-star Tom Fletcher, while wife Georgia stayed home.

The source said that they” seem to have a close friendship “after meeting on ITV ‘ s I’m A Celebrity last year – which Danny won – and were” talking and laughing for ages”. It’s been reported that they spent 90 minutes together at the event as other guests partied around them. A source told the outlet that he appeared to be giving Maura advice and put his arm around her shoulder at one point. They added that she also laid her head on his shoulder as they talked with pals.

Popstar Peter Andre has just celebrated his 52nd birthday, but the family’s attention has now turned to his youngest child, daughter Arabella, who celebrates her first birthday next month. Arabella is the youngest of Peter’s three children with NHS doctor wife Emily MacDonagh, and Peter has exclusively revealed that she is “adored” by her older siblings.

Peter, 52, and Emily, 34, are also parents to Amelia (known affectionally as Millie), 10, and eight-year-old Theo. He also shares Princess and Junior with his ex wife Katie Price. Offering an update on his youngest, Peter told us: “Arabella is so adorable at the moment. She’s almost one and she’s crawling. She’s got four little teeth, two on the top and two on the bottom, which is cute –she’s very much like Millie was at that age”.

He continued, “The whole family went out for my birthday dinner and all her brothers and sisters were passing her around for a cuddle – they absolutely adore her”.

Pete0, who has just finished a nationwide theatre tour, insisted after Arabella’s birth that she would be his last child, despite having previously wanted up to five or six. He admitted, however, that the lack of sleep in his 50s “feels a little different than at 31”.

He also opened up about getting his work-life balance right, saying: “I get to do so many wonderful things in my career but one of the things I’m learning when I’m at home is just to be present. I’m trying to put my phone down as much as possible and really switch off from distractions to give my family the attention they deserve”.

While his eldest children are very established on social media – 17-year-old Princess has around 740, 000 Instagram followers- Pete and Emily, who will celebrate their 10-year wedding anniversary this summer, have chosen to keep the faces of their youngest three off their own channels.

Explaining their decision, Peter told us previously: “Like Millie and Theo, it’s unlikely Emily and I will show her face on social media. AI, for example, can be a scary thing in regard to stealing children’s identity and we don’t know enough about how these images can be used in future”.

The Duchess of Sussex’s new Netflix series might have instantly become one of the most-watched new series of the year, but speculation about “subtle messages” about and to her British royal in-laws appear to have become the biggest takeaway. With Love, Meghan dropped on the streaming service last week and millions of intrigued viewers tuned in to see her swap lifestyle tips with celebrity friends such as actors Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer, and make-up artist Daniel Martin.

Branding expert Lynn Carratt, of Press Box PR, maintains that the show has been produced in such a way that it sends some very clear signals. “There are a few messages Meghan is clearly trying to convey in this documentary. She is trying to show herself as the perfect mum, the perfect and happiest wife, the perfect cook, the perfect host, the perfect friend. It’s all very carefully curated and aesthetically pleasing. Her subtle digs to the royal family, and to Kate and William perhaps in particular, seem to be, ‘ Look at me, I’m happy thank you very much, living my picture-perfect Californian life, Harry and I made the right decision by quitting the royal family. ‘”

In the fifth episode of the wholesome show, with her best friend and former Suits co-star Abigail Spencer, Abigail says, “We’ve all been through a lot”, before turning to Meghan, in what’s been perceived by some as another dig at Meghan’s time with the royal family.

In the final instalment of the eight episodes, we see the duchess host a finale brunch for her friends, as well as husband Prince Harry, 40, and her mum, Doria Ragland. She uses the opportunity to officially introduce her new lifestyle brand As Ever, saying it marked a “new chapter”, which has been perceived by some as a very clear signal that she’s closing the book on her royal life. “And here we go, there’s a business”! she toasts. “All of that is part of that creativity that I’ve missed so much, so thank you for loving me so much and celebrating with me”.

While tasting her final dish, Meghan also comments, “It tastes like home, and I’ve missed California”, leaving viewers with no doubt about where she sees herself living, despite ongoing speculation about a possible return to the UK.

PR expert Lynn believes there are some very obvious links to be made between Meghan’s words and her experience as a working royal. “She says she likes having her creativity back, her freedom – perhaps that’s a secret message to the royals because of course, in the monarchy, her freedom would have been stilted”, she tells us.

“It’s all protocols and age-old traditions – and as we subsequently discovered, that didn’t sit well with Meghan. She had her creative side as an actress, she had her blog The Tig which she had to close down… She had to give up a lot of that old life to become a part of Harry’s life in The Firm”.

In an earlier episode, Meghan also talks about being broken, fractured and healing. Chatting to Vicky Tsai, the millionaire co-founder of a Japanese skincare brand, she appears to allude to her time as a working royal, when she was part of the so-called “Fab Four” with Kate Middleton and Prince William. “You gave me this idea, I think it’s so meaningful, that if you break something that is precious and valuable, it’s not broken”, she says to Vicky, as they talk about Kintsugi, the Japanese craft of repairing broken pottery.

“That fracture actually makes it more beautiful… I just think that it felt really symbolic of saying to anyone if you’ve been through something, you’re not broken. It can be fixed, it can be sealed and healed at the same time”.

The subject of Meghan and Harry – and their children Archie, five, and Lilibet, three – keeping their royal titles has been hotly debated, since they stepped back as working royals and moved to the States in 2020.

Lynn suggests it’s telling that a comment on the topic of her Sussex name was kept in the final edit. “She seems to enjoy the idea of being a royal when it suits her. She is very swift to correct Mandy Kaling in the programme on her correct surname, saying, ‘ You know I’m Sussex now ‘ – a title bestowed to her by the English royal family.

” I think, were she to do more of this ilk, she needs to stay away from these depictions of the perfect idyllic life because that’s not real life for anyone – and viewers and critics are seeing through it, “Lynn says.
