Love Island legend Maura Higgins’ love life has never really been out of the press ever since she rose to fame on the ITV2 show in 2018, but we definitely didn’t expect this latest development.
According to reports, the Love Island 2018 was spotted sharing a ‘drunken kiss’ with her I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! camp mate and reigning King of the Jungle, Danny Jones, at a BRITs after party on Saturday night.
Yep, the very same Danny Jones that has been married to wife Georgia since 2014.
Footage obtained by The Sun appears to show Danny and Maura leaning in for a smooch while partying at the Universal Music’s star-studded post-BRITs bash.
An onlooker told the publication, ‘Danny and Maura seemed to be having a great time. They looked like they had a brief drunken kiss.
‘Danny and Maura seem to have a close friendship after meeting in the jungle. They were talking and laughing for ages.’
They added, 'Danny appeared to be giving Maura advice and at one point he put his arm around her shoulder. Maura also laid her head on Danny’s shoulder as they talked with friends.'
The pair's 'kiss' is said to have taken place at 3am just before they left the party and arrived at Sony's bash an hour later.
Danny and Maura’s representatives have been contacted for comment.
Maura is newly single after reportedly splitting from Pete Wicks last month following a series of rows. It was claimed Maura felt like 'she'd never be able to trust' Pete after allegedly discovering messages to other women on his phone.
The reality star then appeared to take a swipe at her ex on Valentine's Day when she was asked where Pete was while leaving celeb hotspot Sheesh. Maura replied that Pete was 'probably cheating', causing fans to speculate that they hadn't ended on amicable terms.
