Maura Higgins' 'reason for laying low' after Danny Jones afterparty kiss

Love Island star Maura Higgins and McFly singer Danny Jones have been laying low after they were seen sharing an early morning kiss at an event

Maura Higgins and Danny Jones have been laying low after it was revealed the duo shared a kiss at a recent event.

Earlier this month, Love Island star Maura and her I'm A Celeb co-star Danny were seen sharing a boozy 3am kiss at a BRIT Awards afterparty. Maura, Danny and his wife Georgia have yet to publicly comment on the incident but the McFly singer and his wife were recently seen together enjoying a stroll.

Georgia most recently broke her silence by sharing a black-and-white photo of her and Danny's seven-year-old son named Cooper. Meanwhile, Maura has been focused on her work and has only been posting about her projects on social media. An insider has claimed she's 'keeping her head down because she isn't enjoying this one bit'.

"Normally with Maura, everywhere she goes, it’s tagged on social media - be it a restaurant, event or city - she likes people knowing where she is," the source said.

Speaking to The Sun, they claimed: "The negative comments have hurt her bad. No wonder she's fled the country. But Maura is deliberately shying away because she just wants to ride out this furore." They went on to say she's 'badly hurt' over the comments about her 'kissing a married man'.

The Mirror have reached out to Maura's reps for comment. It comes after a pal told The Mirror that I'm A Celebrity Danny and his wife are still 'very much together' and are working through their problems after they were pictured in public putting on a show of togetherness.

A source recently said: “They are clearly looking to put things behind them, and move on with their lives. It really hasn’t been a good time at all but they are very much together."

Onlookers remarked how the two appeared "very serious" after being seen in Richmond, south-west London, nursing coffees as they walked on the green, but a source said: "They are positive people and can look to the future together. Things have been hard but they are moving forward as a couple."

The pair have kept a low-profile ever since Danny was caught on film at 3am kissing Maura on March 2, at the London afterparty. The pair were seen smiling as they left the London bash shortly afterwards. A second video emerged showing Danny and Maura at another party at Nobu Hotel in Marylebone.
