Danny Jones’s suggestive act before ‘drunken kiss’ with Maura Higgins
It happened just weeks before the scandalous afterparty.
The plot thickens in the Danny Jones and Maura Higgins scandal.
After being spotted sharing a ‘drunken kiss’ at a Brit Awards afterparty on Saturday night, the former co-stars of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! have been caught engaging in some complimentary Instagram activity.
It was discovered today that just weeks before the award show, Danny, 38, had double-tapped on a sultry post shared by Maura, 34.
Maura, who is no stranger to sharing a saucy snap now and then, shared a post on her social media page on January 30 wearing a tight leopard print dress that was made to look like it was cheekily showing off her black bra.
Captioning the post ‘Ravenous’, she earned plenty of likes and comments from her 4.1million followers, but one like in particular is now causing a stir.
Appearing to be a fan of her sexy pose, Danny ‘liked’ the photo.

In return, Maura appeared to also like some of the McFly singer’s posts, including the most recent one posted on February 27 and shared pictures from his appearance on ITV’s The Brits: The Warm-Up.
‘Hung out with some cool humans at the @brits warm up show….it’s on tonight 9pm @itv 2!’, Danny wrote in the caption as he shared a picture and video of him and Jade Thirlwall on the couch.
The Love Island star also liked and commented on a photo the father-of-one posted just two days prior, in which he shared his excitement about getting back on the stage.
‘Get me back here! Looking forward to seeing you all at some shows this year,’ he captioned the post, which included a picture of him performing to a crowd of fans.
Maura commented with two hand-clapping emojis and a black heart.
The singer and reality star have been embroiled in a scandal this week after they were spotted sharing a smooch while celebrating Brits night.

However, sources have claimed the musician has been locked in crisis talks with his wife, with whom he shares a seven-year-old son, Cooper Alf Jones.
The Sun reported that Georgia is ‘humiliated’ by the betrayal but that the couple is putting the kiss behind them and committed to repairing their relationship.
A source told the news outlet: ‘Danny and Georgia have been together for a long time and have spoken about that night. They are keen to just move past it and get on with their lives.
‘Danny and Georgia are both committed to each other and are moving on with their lives.’
Meanwhile, sources claim the kiss has had a surprise outcome for Maura, as she is reportedly at the top of Channel 4’s list to join the next season of Celebs Go Dating.
Metro has contacted Danny Jones’s reps for comment.
