Danny Jones is reportedly fearing he could ‘ lose his career ‘ because of his kiss with Maura Higgins.

The McFly singer is married to Georgia Horsley, with the two tying the knot in 2014 and sharing a seven-year-old son named Cooper. However, at a recent BRIT Awards afterparty on March 1, he was filmed sharing a smooch with Love Island star and I’m A Celebrity campmate Maura Higgins.

Danny attended the awards ceremony with his McFly bandmate Tom Fletcher, but was the only member of his band in attendance at the glitzy afterparty Danny, Maura and Georgia have yet to publicly speak out about the incident, but a source from Danny’s camp said he has concerns that his long career could be coming to an end.

They said: “Earlier today, Georgia broke her silence by posting a picture of Cooper, their son. But I don’t think we can get too excited. We need to remember that in the past 2 weeks, 2 videos have emerged online of Danny and Maura spending the night of the BRITs together.

” Georgia is likely trying to resume some normality because she has other engagements that she has to fulfil. Danny has been too silent and I believe this is because he’s expecting it to pass and he can resume his career like normal. Danny has been more concerned to family and friends that his career is coming to an end, when he should be caring about his marriage to his wife and his son.

“It’s time for Danny to explain to his fans and audience what has happened and to own his mistakes”. Earlier today, Georgia broke her silence on the shock kiss by sharing a sweet black-and-white photo of the couple’s son. The mum, who is said to have been ‘ humiliated ‘ by Dannys ‘ actions added a simple blue heart as a dedication to her only child in the caption.

Georgia’s supportive followers were quick to rush to the comments to share their support. “Love you. what a lucky boy he is to have a mummy like you xxxxxx”, wrote one. While another added: “Hope you’re okay Georgia, you’ve got this”. Someone else added: “YES GIRL!!! Lovely to see Coops a post from you. You’ve got this”.

While another commented: “So nice to see you back posting. We’re all behind you and love you so much”. Earlier this week, Georgia was a no-show for her Monday podcast with Kelsey Parker as she pulled out of all work commitments after Danny’s kiss with Maura. Sources close to the mum told the Mirror she was at a loss at what to say publicly about the betrayal.

The BBC have made a huge announcement following the surprise exit of one of its radio presenters.

Mishal Husain unexpectedly left BBC 4 in December. Mishal was on of the Today programme’s main presenters but concluded her 26-year career with the organisation before the turn of the year.

Now, it’s been revealed she is being replaced by former Middle East correspondent Anna Foster. The former BBC Radio 5 Live and Radio 1’s Newsbeat presenter is stepping in to present a number of editions of the show from Salford. It marks the BBC’s efforts to represent more areas of the UK beyond London.

Anna said in a statement following the announcement: “There are few more exciting opportunities for a journalist than presenting Today, and I’m thrilled to be joining the team. I’ve always loved making important, agenda-setting, engaging radio, and there’s nowhere better to do that. It’s such a beloved programme to so many people, and I can’t wait to be a part of it”.

The BBC also said that Foster’s role in covering foreign news wouldn’t stop, with the company saying viewers will still see her on TV coverage of major stories. Speaking following the announcement, the station’s controller Mohit Bakaya said: “She brings important international reporting experience at a time when it is needed so urgently by listeners to Radio 4”.

Anna has been one of a number of people to have taking on a co-host role on Today in the weeks since Mishal’s exit. Simon Jack and Jonny Dymond have also stepped in, but it’s reported BBC wanted a female host to be Mishal’s replacement in order to maintain gender balance on the show. Currently, the show’s other presenters include Emma Barnett, Justin Webb, Amol Rajan and Nick Robinson.

Mishal had joined the Today programme in 2013. However, she left her role to take on a new position at Bloomberg. Joining her co-presenters Nick Robinson and Justin Webb, as well as former Today hosts Sarah Montague and John Humphrys, the journalist took to the airwaves for one last time for the BBC in December. In her segment, she shared a few sentimental remarks about her time with the news outlet. She then closed with a heartfelt song that she felt best captured her emotions on her final day.

“The moment is now upon me, time to say farewell to this programme and to the BBC”, she told listeners on her final show. “In my time here, I have found more in me than I knew was there, and I journey on to discover what might lie within me. In the tradition of my faith, when people used to go on pilgrimage in generations past, they would not only take their leave of friends and associates, but they would ask for their forgiveness because, in those days, many did not return from the arduous journey”.

She added: “I hope, therefore, you might forgive me for the times I crashed the pips, squeezed the weather, any other dastardly deeds, and yes, the 1810 that did involve swearing. But my heartfelt thanks go to all my BBC colleagues across the UK and around the world and to you, wherever you are listening from, for your time and your trust. On this last morning, I have been allowed music and I am going to leave you with my choice”. The Monkees ‘ Daydream Believer then began playing, with the star adding: “From me, good morning and goodbye”.

A major UK rock star has been rushed to hospital for emergency surgery.

Snow Patrol’s Johnny McDaid is now racing to recover ahead of a busy festival season for the band. Lead singer Gary Lightbody confirmed that McDaid, who is dating Friends icon Courteney Cox injured his hand after getting it caught in a door. But the injuries didn’t stop there for McDaid.

The band had been playing two sold out shows in Belfast after two separate incidents involving Johnny but he continued to perform despite the pain. He sustained his latest injury ahead of their show last Thursday. “Johnny McDaid had hurt his hand at the start of the tour, we were going from Switzerland to Frankfurt on a train”, said Lightbody.

He went on to tell RTE: “We did the whole European tour on the train, it was really fun — except for this thing which happened, where Jonny got his hand caught in a door. And it wrecked his hand. He ended up getting surgery on his hand. Never missed a show.

” And then the Thursday night in Belfast, at midnight or so, he fell and wrecked his other hand — smashed his knuckles on his other hand. When we came in for soundcheck on Friday, he couldn’t move the fingers on his right hand. And he still played the show on Friday night. “

Gary said Johnny had undergone his surgery on Sunday, adding it was” insane””. He had two broken hands on Friday’s sow and he played the gig, “the singer commented”. Unbelievable — he’s made of different stuff from the rest of us, absolutely, “he said.

The operation comes six years after the band were forced to pull out of playing Glastonbury Festival due to Johnny requiring an operation on his neck. At the time, Gary told fans:” Our dear brother, piano and guitar player Johnny McDaid has a serious problem with his neck and after consulting with some top neurosurgeons they are all in agreement that the only course of action is immediate surgery.

“Johnny has been incredible in the wake of this news and has remained calm at a time when a lot of people might freak out”. The health scare comes ahead of a hectic schedule for the band who are due to play dozens of shows across the UK this summer, with their first being in Cardiff on June 12, before heading to the likes of Plymouth, Delamere, Cannock Chase and Scarborough.

But despite their busy schedule, Johnny has been speaking about his new book, The Forest Is The Path, which coincides with the release of their latest album, which was inspired by the death of his dad in 2019. Jack, Gary’s dad had tragically suffered from dementia.

Speaking about his late dad, he said: “In my youth he was more of a sort of a stoic figure. He was a very funny man but he wouldn’t have been too emotional. I never saw him cry or anything like that, he was kind of a tough guy. He wouldn’t be running around telling people his feelings or anything like that, which probably would have been the opposite of me, I was more like my mum. Him and I were a bit sort of chalk and cheese”.
