Danny Jones finally addresses Maura Higgins kiss as he issues grovelling apology

Danny Jones has addressed his BRIT Awards kiss with Love Island star Maura Higgins as he issued an apology to his wife Georgia and their family

Danny Jones has addressed his drunken kiss with Maura Higgins.

The singer was spotted getting cosy with his I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! co-star just hours after the BRIT Awards earlier this month. Danny and Maura were filmed sharing a kiss at the Universal Music BRIT Awards afterparty on Saturday March 1. But just one week after the kiss became public knowledge, more information came to light.

Sources claim that the pair partied the night away at the swanky Nobu Hotel in Central London on March 1, where they locked lips. During their outing, sources claimed they were knocking back wine until 4am, before leaving together at 6am.

In a statement, the McFly singer said: "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, understanding, and support. See you all soon, Danny." A source close to Danny said: "Danny has been mortified about whats happened and the awful situation he has put everyone in. He cares so deeply about his family and hopes his words will draw a line under what has been a deeply upsetting time, for everyone. Georgia and his son are absolutely everything to him. Throughout all this, he has been so thankful for the support of his fans. He just wants to move on, and heal in private."
