McFly guitarist Danny Jones, 38, and former Love Island star Maura Higgins, 34, set tongues wagging after they were spotted sharing what appeared to be a drunken kiss at the Brit Awards 2025 after-party. The unexpected moment unfolded at Universal Music’s celebrity-packed event before continuing into the early hours at Sony Music’s party.

A Night of High Spirits and Close Moments
Danny Jones and Maura Higgins were seen in high spirits as they enjoyed each other’s company throughout the night. According to an onlooker, the duo was engaged in deep conversation and plenty of laughter.
An eyewitness revealed: “Danny and Maura seemed to be having a great time together. They looked like they had a brief drunken kiss.”
The two stars, who first bonded on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, seemed inseparable during the parties. Their close friendship was on full display as they spent time together, laughing and chatting well into the night.
From the O2 Arena to London’s Hottest After-Parties
The night began at the O2 Arena, where both attended the Brit Awards ceremony but sat at different tables. However, the real buzz started when they reunited at Universal’s after-party at 180 Studios in central London.
Danny Jones and Maura Higgins were first spotted with McFly bandmate Danny McFly (Tom Fletcher), but when Maura Higgins arrived, she joined Danny Jones, and the pair spent nearly 90 minutes together. Other A-list celebrities, including Frank Lampard and Nicole Appleton, were also present at the event.
A partygoer shared: “Danny appeared to be giving Maura advice, and at one point, he put his arm around her shoulder. Maura also laid her head on Danny’s shoulder while they talked with friends.”
The ‘Drunken Kiss’ Caught on Camera
As the night progressed, the pair was seen leaving the Universal party together just before 3 AM. In the foyer, onlookers filmed them appearing to kiss, sparking widespread speculation.
With grins on their faces, Danny Jones and Maura Higgins were then spotted exiting alongside their fellow I’m A Celeb castmate Oti Mabuse. However, things didn’t stop there!
At around 4 AM, the two arrived together at the Sony Music after-party at the Nobu Hotel in Portman Square. One onlooker described the scene:
“Danny and Maura were still laughing and joking. Inside the party, it looked like just the two of them.”
As the party began to wind down, many guests had already left, but Danny and Maura stayed close until the early hours.
What About Danny’s Marriage?
The buzz around this late-night rendezvous is even more intriguing, considering Danny Jones has been married to Georgia Horsley since 2014.
Meanwhile, Maura Higgins, who had a wardrobe change from a mesh-back gown into a sleek tuxedo-style dress, managed to avoid an awkward run-in with her ex, Pete Wicks. Although Pete Wicks was also at both the O2 ceremony and Universal’s after-party, he remained in a different area for most of the night.
Social Media Erupts
As soon as the videos and pictures surfaced online, social media exploded with reactions. Fans were quick to speculate about the nature of Danny Jones and Maura Higgins’ relationship, with some questioning whether it was just harmless fun or something more serious.
One fan tweeted: “Danny Jones and Maura Higgins kissing at 3 AM?! This is NOT the plot twist I expected in 2025!”
Another wrote: “That’s not just a ‘friendly’ moment! What’s going on here?!”
Neither Danny Jones nor Maura Higgins has addressed the rumors yet, but with the internet buzzing, fans are eager to see if they will clarify their relationship status.
What’s Next?
With speculation running wild, many are now waiting to see if Danny Jones or Maura Higgins will speak out about their Brit Awards after-party antics.
Was it just a drunken mistake, or is there more to their undeniable chemistry? Only time will tell!
