Following her famous kiss with McFly star Danny Jones at The BRIT Awards, Chris Hughes appears to have made a sharp dig at Maura Higgins.
The 32-year-old Love Island alum, who is now a racing pundit for ITV, made a cryptic but poignant comment about the situation. Some fans questioned whether Maura and Danny was her ex Chris in the viral video rather than the McFly singer.
Chris took to Instagram to post a moody photo of himself watching Entourage while seemingly addressing the swirling drama. Chris made sure his caption was cheeky and lame, saying, “I wasn’t at the BRITs… and I wasn’t kissing anyone x.”
As the aftermath of Maura and Danny’s kisse continues to unfold, the comment has only heightened the situation. In 2021, Chris and Maura were engaged to one another, which sparked rumors that they were having a day at Thorpe Park. Maura was spotted giggling and leaning in Chris’ ear as the pair appeared to be in a close relationship. Fans were kept guessing about their relationship status until they later left the NTAs.
Fans are now pondering whether there is still unfinished business between the two because of Chris’ subtle shade, which has since rekindled interest in their previous connection. Following a tumultuous romance, Maura recently split up with TOWIE star Pete Wicks, 36.
Maura revealed in December that she had a strong feeling for someone, and that someone turned out to be Pete, while she was in the I’m A Celebrity jungle. However, the two broke up just before Valentine’s Day, and Maura’s paparazzi questioned him about where he was after saying, “Dunno, probably out cheating.”
I’m A Celebrity star Danny, 38, and Maura were caught kissing at a BRIT Awards afterparty a few weeks later. The pair are seen seated together, leaning in for what appears to be a drunken kiss, according to the leaked footage from Danny and Maura at Universal’s afterparty event, which was taken just before 3am.
Due to Danny’s marriage to his wife Georgia, with whom he shares a six-year-old son, Cooper, and who he tied the knot with in 2014, the incident has sparked a lot of outcry. Maura and former TOWIE star Pete have recently broken up. Danny appeared to be giving Maura advice, according to a source who informed The Sun, and once placed his arm around Maura’s shoulder.
She also reportedly placed her head on Pete’s shoulders during a conversation he had after their breakup. The insider claimed that Danny and Maura entered the venue’s foyer together shortly before 3am, where their alleged kiss was captured on camera. The pair are said to have grinned as they were spotted leaving along with Oti, a former I’m A Celebrity co-star.
After kissing Danny on Tuesday, Maura first revealed her cover. After kissing Danny at the BRIT Awards after party, the former Love Island star was spotted waiting for a taxi at her apartment complex. In a leather jacket and pair of comfortable black pants, Maura kept things casual. With a matching black cap, she made an apparent attempt to conceal her identity. For her most recent appearance, the reality TV star avoided wearing makeup.
The Mirror has contacted Maura’s representatives to discuss this story.
