Danny Jones has remained silent following his kiss scandal with Maura Higgins but for one reason. The McFly singer is married to Georgia Horsley but faces calls to "speak out" about the ongoing drama.
Former I'm A Celebrity co-stars Danny, 38, and Maura, 34, have yet to publicly comment on reports earlier this month that they had a "drunken kiss" at a BRIT Awards after-party in London. Footage released last weekend appears to them having a kiss and a second video, published this week, reportedly shows them later chatting at second party.
A source has since told the Mirror that Danny and wife Georgia, 38, are in crisis talks in a bid to save their marriage. The McFly member and podcast host Georgia have been married since 2014 and share son Cooper, seven. The source suggested that Danny's silence may have been down to him "working through various discussions" with his wife, but they added that the musician "needs to now speak out" about the situation following the second video.
Discussing the scandal, the source told us: "Everyone would understand why Danny and his wife have been quiet. They are likely working through various discussions from the first video that was released alone. With this second video, Danny needs to now speak out."
They continued: "Maura is getting a lot of the backlash, and Danny seems to be getting away with his actions as a husband who was supposed to have been in love with his wife for over a decade. Danny's career should be halted at this point and he should be big enough to now speak out to everyone and explain what has happened and take some accountability."
The source added: "This is unfair on his wife, who seems to have put the family and their marriage first. Who knows if another video will emerge, but being honest is now the only way that this has a chance of resolving itself".

The comments comes after it was claimed just last weekend that Danny and Maura - who appeared on I'm A Celebrity together last year - had a "drunken kiss" whilst at a Universal Music after-party at 180 Studios on the Strand following the BRIT Awards. Footage, shared by the Sun last Sunday night, appears to show them having a kiss. A source told the outlet that they "seemed to be having a great time," adding: "They looked like they had a brief drunken kiss."
The pair were photographed smiling as they left the party and are said to have both then ended up at Sony's afterparty at the Nobu Hotel in Portman Square. They are reported to have travelled separately to the second party. A video from that event, shared by the Sun this weekend, appears to show them in a conversation and holding glasses of wine. Source claimed to the outlet that Danny and Maura seemed to have "no plans to call it a night," adding that they were "knocking back wine" from 4am and "weren't seen leaving before 6am".
