Newly-single Maura Higgins reportedly shared a ‘drunken kiss’ with her married I’m A Celeb co-star Danny Jones at a BRIT Awards afterparty on Saturday night.
The former Love Islander, 34, and the McFly star, 38, both attended Universal Music’s star-studded bash at 180 Strand.
Footage shared with The Sun newspaper shows the pair getting cosy at the London venue where they had also shared a table earlier in the night with their fellow I’m A Celeb co-star Oti Mabuse.
Danny has been married to wife Georgia since 2014 and the pair share six-year-old son Cooper.
The video reportedly taken just before 3am shows them stood close to each other in the venue’s foyer and leaning in to chat before he appears to peck her quickly.
They were then seen leaving the venue as part of a larger group including Danny’s bandmate Tom Fletcher.

Maura then headed home alone in a taxi.
An onlooker told the publication of the interaction: ‘Danny and Maura seemed to be having a great time. They looked like they had a brief drunken kiss.
‘Danny and Maura seem to have a close friendship after meeting in the jungle. They were talking and laughing for ages.’
The pair sat at different tables for the actual ceremony which was held earlier in the night at the 02 Arena.
But at the afterparty they did share a table and exclusive MailOnline footage showed them sitting close together, with Maura even resting her head on Danny’s shoulder at one point.
A source added of the night: ‘Danny appeared to be giving Maura advice and at one point he put his arm around her shoulder.’
Representatives for Maura and Danny have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
Just last month Georgia revealed she had headed on a solo rural cabin retreat without the singer to recover from burnout.

Maura then headed home alone in a taxi and put on a very leggy display in a black and white lace jumpsuit
Georgia, 38, held the fort at home while the McFly star jetted out to Australia in November to compete in I’m A Celebrity at the end of last year – where he was crowned King of the Jungle.
But in a candid post, Georgia has revealed that the pressures of solo parenting and moving house on her own during that time resulted in her feeling burnt out.
‘Over a month of solo parenting, moving house on my own, working hard on my career whilst Danny was in the jungle with snakes in his pants was A LOT!’ she wrote.
So heading into the New Year, Georgia revealed she needed to ‘do something for me’ and booked a wholesome woodland retreat with cabin company Unyoked.
Georgia took herself to snowy Shropshire where she stayed in a cabin and chopped wood, built a fire, enjoyed some reading time and soaked up nature.
It came after Georgia broke down in tears in a very emotional Instagram video in November, while Danny was in Australia.
Georgia – who held the fort at home and looked after their six-year-old son Cooper while the singer was on I’m A Celeb – admitted she had been finding it ‘stressful’ without Danny around.
Meanwhile on Saturday night Maura was busy trying to avoid her ex Pete Wicks who was also at the BRITs and the same afterparty as her.
Pete reportedly left the afterparty early after attending the same bash as his ex Maura on Saturday night – just weeks on from their messy breakup.

MailOnline revealed the I’m A Celeb and Strictly stars’ romance was over on Valentine’s Day, as Maura lashed out by claiming Pete was ‘probably cheating’ when asked where he was as she celebrated her single status at London hotspot Sheesh.
The exes were both among those who attended the star-studded BRIT Awards at The O2 in London.
Maura took to the red carpet in a completely sheer black gown, while Pete was joined by the Irish star’s rival Olivia Attwood – after the pair announced a joint podcast.
The close proximity continued later in the evening as they all headed to the Universal afterparty with Pete and Olivia arriving arm-in-arm.
The Mirror report Maura partied until the end at the party while Pete was seen leaving early.
A source told the newspaper: ‘Pete and Maura were both at the afterparty but were very separate.
‘Pete was there fleetingly at the beginning, but Maura was there until the end at 2am-ish.
‘She was partying with I’m A Celebrity pals Danny Jones and Oti Mabuse. She was having a good time with TikTok star Luke Hamnett.’
The insider added that Pete stayed close to his pal Olivia Attwood while he was there.
A representative for Pete has been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
Maura was dealt a fresh blow as she was sat just metres away from her ex Pete at the ceremony.
Pete made light of Maura’s cheating comment as he spoke to MailOnline on the red carpet on Saturday.
Speaking about his best friend Sam Thompson, Pete told MailOnline: ‘It’s hard for Sam tonight because I’ve got a new work wife. But, he’s not far away, he’s over there actually.’
He added: ‘It is a little bit weird because it feels like I am…’
‘Cheating?’ Olivia interrupted as they both broke out into fits of laughter, before she added: ‘Not the first time, I might add.’
‘Because… I have never done that,’ Pete said.
Pals of Pete previously told MailOnline he was never unfaithful to Maura during their romance and has been left hurt by her ‘cheating’ accusations.
Maura arrived on the red carpet in a sheer floral gown that left her sensational figure on full display and boasted black pipe detailing to accentuate her curves.
Opting to forgo a bra underneath the fitted number, Maura preserved her modesty with several strategically-placed intricate embroidered flowers.
However, as the TV star posed up a storm on the red carpet, she made sure to flash a cheeky glimpse at her lacy black thong underneath.
She gave herself several extra inches with a pair of black high heels and kept her accessories simple to allow her show-stopping outfit to have all the attention.
TRESemmé products were used to style her brunette hair in a dramatic up do, with several strands slicked to resemble a flower and completed the look with full face of glamorous makeup.
MailOnline exposed the secret rift between Olivia and Maura last year.
It came as Olivia accused 2019 Islander Maura, of using the ‘same script’ including her reasons for entering the ITV2 dating show – ‘revenge on an ex.’

Her comments came as Maura starred on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, two years after Olivia had to suddenly leave the Australian jungle due to medical reasons.
While in January, Olivia insisted to MailOnline: ‘Without sounding arrogant, I don’t feel like I’m in competition with anyone.
‘I am relentlessly insane, no one can outwork me. They can try but they won’t succeed.’
The 2025 BRIT Awards ceremony was hosted by comedian Jack Whitehall, marking his fifth time at the helm of the event, after having previously presented the show in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.
