Real reason Danny Jones will not attend TV Baftas as Maura Higgins makes first red carpet appearance since infamous kiss
MAURA Higgins will today make her first red carpet appearance since her kiss with married McFly star Danny Jones — while he gives it a miss.
Danny, 39, will dodge the TV Baftas despite being the I’m A Celeb winner and a mentor on The Voice.
Ex-Love Islander Maura, 34, has kept a low profile since the canoodle — caught on camera at a Brit Awards after-party in March.
But a source told The Sun on Sunday: “She thinks enough time has passed. She can’t hide forever.
“She’s going to spend all morning before the bash getting glammed up and strut down the red carpet with her head held high.”
They added: “She won’t be answering any questions about the kiss.
“She’s put the whole incident behind her and feels she has nothing to be ashamed of.
“Danny won’t be attending though as he is focusing on his family life and work.
“He wouldn’t do anything to make wife Georgia doubt him and doesn’t want to set a foot a wrong.”
Ex-Miss England Georgia, 38, briefly stayed with a pal amid the fallout from the kiss before moving back to the family home in West London.
The couple have a six-year-old son.
Contrite Danny wrote online: “I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family.
“I love them so much and we’ll continue to deal with this privately.”
Maura, who dated Strictly star Pete Wicks, will fly out to Fiji next month to host US Love Island’s sister show After Sun.
