The awkward moment Melvin Odoom attempts to swerve questions about his I’m A Celeb co-stars Danny Jones and Maura Higgins’ ‘drunken kiss’ on GMB: ‘It’s not my business!’

Melvin Odoom was put in an awkward position on Monday’s Good Morning Britain as he desperately tried to swerve questions on Danny Jones and Maura Higgins’ ‘drunken kiss’.

The presenter, 44, was standing in for showbiz correspondent Richard Arnold as he dished out the latest entertainment news, but his debut got off to a tricky start as hosts Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley quizzed him about the kiss scandal. 

The McFly star, 39, was filmed sharing a kiss with the Love Island star, 34, at a BRIT Awards afterparty earlier this month, and said in his apology on Friday he was sorry for putting wife Georgia ‘in this situation.’

Melvin, who starred in I’m A Celebrity alongside Maura and Danny, looked visibly uncomfortable as he was probed on the latest news that Georgia had moved out of the family home, noting that the Susanna and Richard ‘go in hard’ with their questioning. 

He told them: ‘First of all, you guys don’t hold back. Straight in with the hard stories.’

To which Susanna replied: ‘You know what, it’s on the front of The Sun this morning. And has been developing for a few days … you were in the jungle with Danny, and Maura.’

Melvin then said: ‘Well, look. The thing is we have all got a WhatsApp group and we all got on in the jungle.

‘The other day it was Danny’s birthday and we all wished him happy birthday, in regards to this story, it’s not my business.’

He then insisted: ‘That’s it. That’s all I am saying on that.’

Richard then commended him on his ‘civilised response’, to which Melvin replied: ‘Thank you very much. I got on with everybody, they’re lovely guys and I wish them all the best.’

Melvin’s words comes as it’s reported that Danny’s wife Georgia is taking time away from her husband and moved in with a friend called Rose on Wednesday, despite his grovelling.

The source said to The Sun that while they may still be married, Danny and Georgia are ‘not together’.  

‘She is working out what she wants to do,’ they said. ‘She has been hugely hurt and embarrᴀssed by everything and told Danny she needed to get away.

They added: ‘Georgia is no pushover and Danny knows as much, they are still talking about how they can move forwards.’

MailOnline has approached representatives for Georgia and Danny for comment. 

Georgia returned to social media for the first time since he issued a grovelling apology for his drunken kiss.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Georgia shared a picturesque post of blooming daffodils, with the caption: ‘SPRING.’

It comes after sources said Georgia is keen to avoid being seen as a ‘pushover’ by forgiving Danny too fast.

Two days after making a cringeworthy return to social media, Danny released a statement apologising to his wife Georgia for ‘putting her in the situation’. 

The pair were also pictured on a tense outing together on Tuesday, with sources telling The Mail that it was a last-ditch attempt by Danny’s team to preserve a united front.

An insider recently told The Sun that Georgia was left feeling ‘uneasy’ by the pH๏τos, with a source saying: ‘This whole situation has been incredibly embarrᴀssing for Danny and Georgia.

‘They are keen to work through things together and move on. But Georgia does not want people to think she’s a pushover and that all is forgiven already.

‘She was concerned that the pH๏τos of her and Danny together gave the impression that everything is fine, when that is very much not the case.’ 

On Instagram, two weeks after the incident took place, Danny took to Instagram to issue an apology to his wife.

He said: ‘Hello everyone. Sorry its 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 then so much and we’ll continue to deal with this privately.

‘I love you guys, thank you for you patience, understanding, and support. See you all soon, Danny.’
