Makeup free Maura Higgins shows off her flawless complexion as she heads out with a friend after Danny Jones and wife Georgia Horsley reunited following 'drunken kiss' scandal
showed off her flawless complexion as she went makeup free and headed out with a friend in Essex on Tuesday. The TV personality's outing came after Danny Jones and his wife Georgia Horsley reunited for a family photo following the McFly star's 'drunken kiss' with Maura. The couple have weathered a rough patch following the snog with his I'm A Celeb co-star at the BRITs afterparty in February. And Maura, 34, was also in good spirits as she headed out with her close pal and hairstylist Carl Bembridge. She dressed casually in a pair of grey joggers which she teamed with a plain black vest with a scooped neckline. The model layered over a cropped leather jacket, carried a classic Chanel handbag and pulled her hair back into a bun. Danny and his wife Georgia have mostly refrained from sharing photos of each other on social media since his 'drunken kiss' with Maura. But they appeared back on track this week as they were seen with her family during a huge reunion. The photo showed Danny, 39, and Georgia, 38, standing in a crowd of relatives, including seven-year-old son Cooper, while both beamed for the camera She captioned the post: 'And then there was 17. My family are dotted all over the world so getting all of us together at once is near on impossible which makes days like this even more special'. Before adding: 'Cousins, aunties, uncles, parents, husbands, wives, kids… my house was full and my heart happy. Missed you Si'. The couple were last seen together publicly in March and looked tense on a walk, just days after the singer's kiss with Maura was revealed. Last month Danny shared his first photo of Georgia since the scandal broke in a photo that showed their son running around the garden, whilst Georgia could be seen relaxing in the sunshine. Georgia, who has kept quiet throughout the scandal, posted a picture of her father and one of Danny to celebrate Father's Day earlier the same month, in another sign that the couple have weathered the storm. She captioned: 'And then there was 17. My family are dotted all over the world so getting all of us together at once is near on impossible which makes days like this even more special'. At the end of May Georgia gave an insight into her 'life lately' with an update - but failed to mention the McFly star. Danny and Georgia's marriage was rocked after the I'm A Celeb winner shared a drunken kiss with campmate Maura at a Universal Records party. Meanwhile further reports claimed 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 told MailOnline in the weeks after the scandal that despite their efforts, Danny and Georgia were like 'passing ships' and friends feared their relationship was hanging on by a thread.

Maura Higgins shares first glimpse inside incredible new £1,200,000 home
Maura Higgins has finally moved into her 'dream' £1.2million Essex mansion, giving fans a first look at its sleek kitchen and sprawling garden. The Love Island star, 34, revealed to her Instagram followers in October that she was swapping her one-bedroom property for a luxury new mansion. On Sunday, the reality TV personality posted some pictures from inside the home after moving in over the weekend. Posting a snap inside the sleek grey kitchen with views through large French doors into a manicured garden, she wrote: 'After the busiest few months…. she's finally in.' On the kitchen counter, she showed a large bouquet of flowers, a bottle of sparkling wine, and a candle to celebrate the occasion. A second picture on her Instagram Stories showed celebrity hairdresser friend Carl Bembridge sitting on a kitchen surface, adding: 'No chairs yet but he always finds something to sit on.' Last year, Maura shared a similar snap of the modern-style kitchen announcing that she had bought a new home, writing alongside the picture: 'Bought my dream home.' The I'm A Celebrity star has been relatively out of the spotlight following her kiss with Danny Jones at the Brit Awards. Maura has remained silent on the kissing scandal, but the McFly singer issued a public apology to his wife, model Georgia Horsley. In an Instagram Story, he wrote: 'Sorry it's taken me a while to post this but I've taken some time out to be with those closest to me. 'I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. I love them so much and we'll continue to deal with this privately. 'I love you guys, thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. See you all soon, Danny.' More Trending Danny skipped the Baftas in May with a source telling Metro it was in a bid to avoid Maura following the fallout of the scandal. 'Danny wasn't ready to bump into Maura after everything that happened. He's ready to move on from the situation entirely and put it in the past,' they said. 'Although a lot of his I'm A Celebrity co-stars were there last night and it would have been great to see them again, he didn't feel coming face-to-face with Maura at such a big event would have been appropriate.' Maura is next set to appear on our screens on the US spin-off of The Traitors alongside the likes of Lisa Rinna, Michael Rapaport, and Porsha Williams. Got a story?

Maura Higgins' stunning bounce back after Danny Jones kiss scandal
Maura Higgins has not only recovered from 'that' boozy kiss at a BAFTAs afterparty earlier this year - she's riding higher than ever as a {R expert claims she's 'played a blinder' Maura Higgins had a rocky start to 2025, splitting from Pete Wicks then facing a backlash over 'that' kiss with married McFly star Danny Jones at the Brits afterparty. But not only has she weathered the storm, she's set to celebrate her biggest year yet, as OK! reports. According to PR expert Dermot McNamara, Maura's played a blinder by refusing to get caught up in the drama and, thanks to her hosting gig on Love Island USA: Aftersun, her career is just getting stronger. 'This had all the makings of a PR disaster, but Maura turned it into a non-event,' he said. 'The scandal could have derailed her, but she's back on screen, bigger than ever.' READ MORE: 'Unique and luminous' pink climbing clematis has a 25% saving in this summer sale The reality star, 34, oozed confidence as she returned to the spin-off series last week. And while she may have hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons recently, a source told new the negative publicity has failed to dent her reputation. 'She needed a clean slate and working in America has done that,' they said. 'In the UK, Maura was – unfairly – branded a homewrecker. It's not a good look and she didn't want it to impact her career.' Maura met Danny while appearing on I'm A Celebrity last December, while she was dating Pete. Danny, meanwhile, has been married to model Georgia Horsley – who he shares seven-year-old son Cooper with – since 2014. Maura and Danny stunned onlookers when they were caught kissing at the Brits afterparty, prompting Danny to issue a grovelling apology. But as Danny battled to save his marriage, Maura maintained a dignified silence. 'It's the golden rule of reputation management: don't add fuel to the fire,' said Dermot. 'She didn't dignify the rumours with a response, and by doing so she denied them oxygen.' The source agreed that Maura was canny in how she dealt with the furore. 'She still hasn't spoken about the kiss – she acts as if it didn't happen,' they said. 'McFly aren't as well-known in the US, so it's a weight off her shoulders when she's there.' Maura began hosting Love Island USA: Aftersun last year, but took time away to film for the US version of The Traitors. Then, last week, she made an epic return for the finale. 'Maura is hot property in America,' the source said. And she has no plans to slow down, with the source claiming that Maura is working hard to ensure the scandal with Danny becomes a distant memory. Dermot said it's incredible how the former ring girl has been juggling two huge TV shows. 'These are high-profile roles that prove networks and brands still want her front and centre. Maura is a magnetic TV host with a rising-star quality.' Alongside the likes of Molly-Mae Hague and Olivia Attwood, Maura is one of Love Island's biggest success stories. It's because she knows how to play the fame game, the source said, adding, 'She's come out of this debacle unscathed, while Danny still seems to be picking up the pieces.'

Maura Higgins shows off new £1.2 million home after 'busy few months'
Love Island star Maura Higgins gave fans a first look at the inside of her new home in Essex - but any guests thinking of popping around might want to bring a chair with them Maura Higgins welcomed her fans into her brand new home - revealing she has moved into her million pound mansion in Essex. The 34-year-old former Love Island contestant has earned an estimated £3.2 million in the years since she found fame on the ITV dating show back in 2019. And she has splashed the cash on a luxury new home - snapping up a five-bedroom property in the south east of England. The semi-detached house boasts an impressive garden and has huge, floor to ceiling windows that allow plenty of natural light to flood in. But it seems Maura will need to splash a little more money - as it appears she has little to no furniture in her grand new home. Nonetheless, the TV star shared news that she has moved into the dream home this weekend. On Sunday, the reality star took to Instagram Stories to share a couple of snaps from inside her new pad. She shared a photo from her kitchen looking out to her garden with a vase of flowers, candles, and a bottle of wine visible in the foreground. She wrote alongside the image: "After the busiest few months.... she's finally in." She added a house emoji and a padlock and key emoji - showing she is now a proud home owner. She shared a second snap showing professional hairdresser Carl Bembridge perched on the top of a kitchen surface and scrolling on his phone. Maura captioned this image, writing: "No chairs yet but he always finds something to sit on." Maura's happy home photos come just a couple of months after she almost wrecked the home of a married couple - as she was caught kissing married pop star Danny Jones at the 2025 Brit Awards. The Love Island star and the McFly guitarist sparked controversy as their flirty behaviour was captured despite the fact he has been married to model Georgia Horsley since 2014. The incident brought shame on both Maura and Danny - with fans blasting the pair for their disrespectful behaviour. Danny eventually addressed the controversy, issuing a groveling public apology online. He wrote: "Hello everyone, sorry it's taken me a while to post this but I've taken some time out to be with those closest to me. "I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. I love them so much and we'll continue to deal with this privately. "I love you guys, thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. See you all soon, Danny." Meanwhile, a source close to Danny revealed he was "mortified" by what happened as well as the "awful situation he has put everyone in". Maura and Danny had attended the Universal Music afterparty at 180 The Strand, mingling with other top names. It was here that the pair were seen kissing one another. Danny was seen giving Maura a peck before moving in to kiss her on the lips in front of onlookers. An insider said that they "seemed to be having a great time," adding: "They looked like they had a brief drunken kiss." Sources claim that the pair later partied the night away at the swanky Nobu Hotel in Central London on March 1. During their outing, sources claimed they were knocking back wine until 4am, before leaving together at 6am. Meanwhile, Maura did not issue any apology - but reports suggested she had also been left "mortified" over being caught in the act.
