The jungle show has picked up 15 NTAs and is always shortlisted for Best Entertainment.
The champ usually joins hosts Ant and Dec on stage to collect any NTA.
So Danny risks bumping into Love Islander Maura, 34.
He has spent recent months quietly repairing his marriage to influencer wife Georgia.
A source said: 'Danny is expected to attend NTAs on September 10, as have all previous reigning jungle winners — and Maura is also going.
"She is the queen of a red carpet moment and adores getting glammed up.
'There will have to be some clever choreography to ensure they don't end up next to each other when walking the red carpet but they could both end up on stage if I'm A Celebrity wins.
'Maura won't be answering any questions about the kiss. She's put the incident behind her and feels she has nothing to be ashamed of.
Danny has also been moving on, but they knew that their paths were bound to cross at some point.'
The NTAs take place at London's 02 Arena and will be shown on ITV.

James Haskell makes rare red carpet appearance with daughter Bodhi
James Haskell was snapped spending quality time with his three-year-old daughter Bodie just weeks after confessing what he thinks ended his marriage to her mum Chloe Madeley James Haskell has made a rare red carpet appearance with his daughter Bodhi when they attended the Grand Prix Of Europe UK Gala screening. The former rugby union star stepped out with the three-year-old, whohe shares with ex Chloe Madeley - to the event at the Ham Yard Hotel in London. James, 40, looked happy as he beamed in the images alongside Bodhi while carrying her in his arms. James and Chloe, 38, separated in 2023 after five years of marriage. Bodhi - the grandchild of Chloe's famous parents Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan - was just one-year-old when the pair went their separate ways. READ MORE: James Haskell says he'd still be married to Chloe Madeley if he'd stopped doing one thing James' stepping out with Bodhi comes after he confessed that his drinking habits contributed to the end of their marriage. Speaking at the Pub in the Park festival in West London he said, "If I put more time into my marriage than I did Guinness, then I wouldn't be divorced now." He continued to the Daily Mail,"It's one of those things in life where some things don't work out, but I have so much love for my daughter and Chloe. It's team work. What we all forget is when you have children and a marriage finishes, it's all about the kids. Chloe and I are amazing co-parents. Our priority is always Bodhi." James also confirmed that he is now single again after briefly dating advertising executive Helen Barclay at the start of the year. He said, "I don't really date. My priority is not that at the moment. I don't need anyone. I'm very happy and comfortable. My focus is, obviously, saying goodbye to my dad, work, and being the best dad in the best order." James now works as a DJ playing global venues and has previously opened up about how he achieved his visibly slimmed down figure following his change of career. During his stint on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! he discussed how his new regime was having an impact on his appearance. He was thought to have lost around 10kg appearing on the show due to the gruelling challenges and restricted eating that contestants have to deal with. He shared pictures of his chiseled abs and biceps to Instagram to show off the difference. James also attributed a 9kg drop in his weight to lifestyle changes during one of the final Covid-19 lockdowns in the UK. Taking to Instagram to share a comparison pictures of his changing body he wrote, "I got bored in lockdown 2 and saw how big I could get. 130kgs. Lockdown 3 I have gone the other way. I'm 8 weeks in and have gone from 122kgs to 113kgs. I've been training remotely with @altius_pt. Which has been mega, well thought out and programmed exactly. The idea is to get leaner now and then build back up slowly over the coming week. "It's been really fun to have a goal and stick to it. It gives you purpose, routine and discipline. All things we strive on as humans."
