McFly singer Danny Jones has broken his silence after he was spotted sharing what appeared to be a kiss with TV star Maura Higgins.

The pair were videoed together on Saturday night following the hotly anticipated BRIT Awards. Together they attended Universal Music's star-studded after party which was held at 180 Studios in central London.

In the clip, published by The Sun, the duo appeared to be chatting to one another before Maura leant in to kiss Danny on the cheek. Moments later, they appeared to share a longer kiss.

The video was shared online, alongside snaps of the pair looking cosy while sat together during the show at the O2 Arena. They eventually left the after party separately.

Taking to his Instagram Stories, the star wrote: "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, support, and understanding. See you all soon, Danny."

Danny, 38, and Maura, 34, recently appeared in the same series of I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Maura, who shot to fame on Love Island, became the sixth celebrity to be booted out of the competition, while singer Danny was eventually crowned as King of the Jungle.

Maura was previously linked to TOWIE star Pete Wicks after the pair were photographed kissing. Discussing their bond, Maura said on the We Need to Talk podcast: "We just get on very, very well. I adore him. He's an amazing person. Do you know what's so weird? We met very soon after I came off Love Island, and we just instantly clicked. Our humor is the same."

Danny's family life

Danny and former Miss England winner Georgia tied the knot back in 2014 in a wedding exclusive with HELLO!. At the time, Danny said: "When I saw Georgia, I couldn't really take it. My legs shook. It was the most amazing view I've ever seen."
