When Georgia Horsley returned to social media this week for the first time since her husband Danny Jones was caught on camera apparently locking lips with Maura Higgins at a BRITs afterparty, the comments on her post were hugely telling.
Sharing a black and white snap of the couple’s seven-year-old son Cooper, she didn’t mention her husband or address his night out with Maura, but her famous pals were quick to allude to the drama in a raft of supportive messages.
Binky Felstead was among the supporters to assure Georgia that ‘we got you’, while fitness influencer Chessie King added that everyone is ‘rallied around’ for the former Miss England.
Meanwhile, The McFly star’s bandmates, Tom and James Bourne, as well as Tom’s wife Giovanna have shown their support for Danny.
He also received a birthday message from Colleen Rooney, who appeared on I’m A Celebrity with Danny and Maura.
The former campates were seen looking cosy inside the star-studded Universal bash at 180 House on The Strand and reportedly went on to drink wine together until 6am at a Sony party.
A video of the duo, reportedly taken just before 3am, shows them standing close to each other in the venue’s foyer and leaning in to chat before he appears to peck her.
They were then seen leaving the venue as part of a larger group including Danny’s bandmate Tom Fletcher, with Maura then heading home alone in a taxi.

James Bourne has appeared to hint at his McBusted bandmate Danny’s current relationship woes, as he shared a profound post about ‘unhappy marriages’.
The Busted star, 41, who joined forces with Danny and the rest of McFly when the two bands formed a supergroup in 2013, sparked speculation that he was addressing the drama this week.
The singer took to his Instagram to repost a video from Paul C Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast, where he spoke to physician Gabor Maté about relationships and trauma.
The clip in question, saw Gabor detailing why some people choose to marry spouses that end up hurting them, suggesting it is because they are seeking the love they didn’t get in their childhood.
In the video, the Hungarian expert says: ‘You always marry somebody that’s going to trigger for you every unhappiness that you ever had in your childhood.
‘So when we find somebody to be in a relationship with, it happens on two levels. One level is, “I find them attractive, they’re humorous, they’re fun to be with.”
‘Underneath it, there’s a looking for the love that we never got in the first place. So relationships very much are a matter of growing up together, if that can happen.’
He then pointedly adds: ‘But I guarantee you, when you marry somebody, you’re going to find both your dreams and your worst nightmare.
‘That’s profound that we’re all seeking, subconsciously we’re seeking our parents’ dysfunction. Because that’s what we wanted, the love.’

His bandmate Tom Fletcher, his wife Giovanna, Coleen Rooney and musician Steven Battelle were amongst the celebs wishing him well.

Danny’s dad Alan
Danny’s estranged father Alan has reportedly quit his radio show after a row with his colleagues over his son’s drunken kiss with Maura
Danny’s estranged father Alan has reportedly quit his radio show after a row with his colleagues over his son’s drunken kiss with Maura.
Sources are claiming that Alan is ‘deeply upset’ over comments his colleagues have made about his son’s behaviour at the radio station where he works.
Alan is a presenter on Fresh Radio Spain, in Benidorm, and he hosts a three-hour slot on the station, five days a week.
But a source has told The Sun that after he discovered his colleagues had labelled Danny a ‘pig’ following his kiss, he quit his job at the station.
They told the publication: ‘Danny’s dad is refusing to go back on air on his radio show, and furiously ranted at station staff after two of his co-presenters were mocking his son live on air.
‘He’s been telling people that Danny is going through a marriage crisis, and so it’s upsetting to then have his colleagues talking about it behind his back.
‘After finding out his co-presenters called his son a ”pig” for his kiss with Maura Higgins, it’s been a hugely upsetting time for Alan, who loved his time presenting Fresh up until that point.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Danny Jones and Fresh Radio Spain for comment.
Alan previously said that he and Danny have not spoken for 18 years, and the singer has never visited his father in Spain, where he moved to in 2016.
In an interview with MailOnline last year, Alan, 72, said he believes a bitter divorce from Danny’s mother Kathy tarnished his relationship with his son, who he described as a ‘lovely lad’ with a ‘heart of gold’.
Alan said: ‘It should have been a time where the marriage got a bit closer, but it didn’t.
‘I can’t explain why but it didn’t, so we had two very bad years, and in fact, Danny saw this with his sister and they wrote a song about it… and then I met Sharon and that was it.’
Danny was 19 when Alan walked out on the family in 2005, and has previously revealed how he sought therapy for anxiety over the incident.
Speaking on White Wine Question Time in 2022, he said: ‘I had a massive bout of anxiety when I was 19, when my dad left. It’s hard for a kid because you crave that stability and you miss it.’

The following morning, Katherine wasted no time in sharing her thoughts on the situation as she posted a TikTok video from her hospital bed, taking a savage swipe at the singer for ‘forgetting about his family’.
The comedian, 41, who is currently in hospital receiving treatment for lupus, was not able to attend the music event but made sure to keep up with all the drama from the night.
Referring the infamous clip in the TikTok video, she said in a sarcastic tone: ‘Oh my god, he wouldn’t do that, he couldn’t do that.
‘I know that really looks like what I’m seeing with my own eyes in the video but he just wouldn’t do that.’
She then pulled a blunt expression and continued: ‘They do that! They leave the house for three minutes to get milk and forget they have a whole family! They do that!’
Katherine captioned it: ‘Just trying to mind my business but can’t help but catch up on the news.’

Sarah Louise Merrygold, wife of JLS star Aston, Anna Whitehouse and Binky Felstead and Oti Mabuse have shown their support.
Georgia returned to social media on Tuesday but simply shared a photograph of their son Cooper, seven, while Danny mysteriously failed to engage with the post.
Less than 24 hours later, Danny finally returned to social media after a weeks-long absence but didn’t comment on the scandal as he shared a string of cringe posts.
Georgia post included a black and white image of their son Cooper wearing a pair of dark sunglasses while playing on a handheld device.
Not addressing her husband or his recent antics with former Love Island star Maura, Georgia simply captioned her image with a blue love heart emoji.
A host of Georgia’s showbiz pals were quick to share their support for her in the comments.
Sarah Louise Merrygold, wife of JLS star Aston penned: ‘Little dude. sending you all my love.’
Binky Felstead wrote: ‘We got you girl! Adore you,’ with Oti Mabuse adding a blue heart emoji.
Anna Whitehouse shared: ‘Love you darling. We’ve got you.’ Chessie King added: ‘Absolutely adore you, we’re alllll rallied round you.’
Despite receiving a flood of supportive comments, Georgia later decided to turn off the comments on all her posts.
Hours after Georgia shared the snap, eagle-eyed fans of the pair noted that Danny had mysteriously failed to engage with the post.
It led to some fans speculating that it is a tell-tale sign that all is not well in the Jones household following the kissing furore.

Kelsey Parker was forced to cancel a public Q&A at the Baby Show in London on Saturday after her podcast co-host Georgia pulled out of the event all together.
Georgia, who co-hosts the podcast Mum’s The Word with Kelsey, cancelled her appearance in the aftermath of the scandal.
Kelsey hosted the event alone, and a source revealed to MailOnline that the talk finished 15 minutes early.
In light of Georgia’s absence, she also avoided the Q&A part of the chat as she opted to wind things down instead.
MailOnline have contacted Georgia and Kelsey’s representatives for comment.
An insider told The Mail that Georgia would not be attending the event after her husband’s antics hit the headlines.
They said: ‘Sitting down for a Q&A in front of a live audience is not what Georgia needs right now. She is mortified at how this has all played out and can’t help but feel humiliated.’
It is understood that Georgia has not recorded any new editions of the podcast since The Sun obtained footage of Danny and Maura getting cosy at a Brits bash.
