Danny Jones statement in full as he 'deeply apologises' to wife for Maura Higgins kiss

McFly singer Danny Jones took to his Instagram Stories to share a statement to his followers after he was pictured kissing Maura Higgins

Danny Jones has 'deeply apologised' to his wife and family after he was filmed smooching Maura Higgins.

The McFly singer has kept a low profile since it was revealed he and his I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! co-star Maura kissed at a BRIT Awards afterparty. The unlikely pair were seen kissing one another at a swanky after party following the star-studded bash on March 1.

One week after their kiss became public knowledge, it emerged that Danny and Maura were partying the night away with one another. Onlookers claimed they left the party at 6am after sinking bottles of wine with one another before making a joint exit from the party.

Maura, Danny and his wife didn't publicly address the situation and only used their social media to share casual updates. Maura posted snaps from her work projects while Georgia most recently posted a black-and-white photo of the seven-year-old son she shares with Danny.

And now, on Friday evening, Danny broke his silence as he took to his Instagram Stories to share a statement to his one million followers. Here's his statement in full...

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." Meanwhile, a source close to Danny revealed he was "mortified" by what happened as well as the "awful situation he has put everyone in".

Maura and Danny had attended the Universal Music afterparty at 180 The Strand, mingling with other top names. It was here that the pair were seen kissing one another. Danny was seen giving Maura a peck before moving in to kiss her on the lips in front of onlookers. An insider said that they "seemed to be having a great time," adding: "They looked like they had a brief drunken kiss."

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