will be returning to the red carpet for the first time since the BRITs kiss scandal but won't face an awkward run-in with Danny Jones, it has been claimed.
The Love Island star, 34, and the married McFly singer, 39, hit headlines in March when they were spotted in a compromising clinch at the Universal Music's BRIT Awards afterparty.
Danny is said to no longer have a 'normal relationship' with his wife Georgia, 38, and while they are still living under the same roof, they now have 'separate lives'.
Both Danny and Maura have generally kept away from public events since the scandal, but the reality TV star's return to the red carpet has now been revealed.
According to The Sun, Maura will storm red carpet at the TV BAFTAs at Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall on Sunday, but will not answer any questions about the kiss.
She will not be faced with an awkward reunion with Danny as he is reportedly skipping the ceremony to avoid 'putting a foot wrong' with his wife.
A source told the Sun: '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.'
MailOnline has contacted Danny and Maura's representatives for a comment.
Maura last appeared on the red carpet at the BRIT Awards, just hours before she was spotted sharing a kiss with Danny at the Universal afterparty.
Danny and Georgia's marriage was rocked after the I'm A Celeb winner shared a drunken kiss with former campmate Maura, with further reports claiming the pair had continued their night until 6am, sharing wine together at Nobu Hotel bar.
Danny, who apologised to his wife and family for 'putting them in this situation', has stayed living at the couple's West London home, where Georgia moved to on her own as he appeared on the ITV jungle series in December.
Sources claimed to MailOnline that despite their efforts, Danny and Georgia are like 'passing ships' and friends fear their relationship is hanging on by a thread.
They said: 'Danny and Georgia have been trying to navigate a very difficult time in their marriage and for the best part they have been taking each day as it comes.
'They may be living under the same roof, but they barely see each other and right now are like passing ships.
'Danny is preparing for his summer gigs with McFly, and Georgia has been attending influencer events and collaborating with brands, all while looking after son, Cooper, who regularly features on her Instagram profile.
'But when they're not working, Danny is out on his motorbike or exercising in the gym, and Georgia is either on her own or spending time with family and girlfriends.
'They haven't actually been publicly seen together for six weeks and behind the scenes, their relationship is anything but normal.'
Georgia, who's a former Miss England, temporarily moved out of the family home in the wake of the kissing scandal last month.
But after deciding to give their marriage a second chance, she returned to the property as sources claimed Danny was willing to do 'anything to make it work.'
In recent weeks, Georgia has been seen at events including for Marks & Spencer, where she took part in a fitness session with ambassador Alex Scott.
