Katherine Ryan and Chris Hughes have weighed in on Danny Jones and Maura Higgins having a drunken kiss at a BRIT Awards after party on Saturday night.

Newly-single Maura, 34, and her married I’m A Celeb co-star Danny Jones, 38, were seen in a now viral clip sharing a kiss over the weekend at the star-studded Universal Music party. 

The following morning, Katherine wasted no time in sharing her thoughts on the situation as she posted a TikTok video from her hospital bed, taking a savage swipe at the singer for ‘forgetting about his family’.

The comedian, 41, who is currently in hospital receiving treatment for lupus, was not able to attend the music event but made sure to keep up with all the drama from the night.

Referring the infamous clip in the TikTok video, she said in a sarcastic tone: ‘Oh my god, he wouldn’t do that, he couldn’t do that.

‘I know that really looks like what I’m seeing with my own eyes in the video but he just wouldn’t do that.’

She then pulled a blunt expression and continued: ‘They do that! They leave the house for three minutes to get milk and forget they have a whole family! They do that!’

Katherine captioned it: ‘Just trying to mind my business but can’t help but catch up on the news.’

Elsewhere Chris Hughes has been forced to address claims that he is the man in question who was spotted kissing Maura.

After the clip of the reality star and McFly icon was shared online, rumours quickly began to spread that the man in the clip is Love Island’s Chris and not Danny.

Chris, 32, took to his Instagram Stories on Tuesday to hit back at the claims.

Sharing a pH๏τo of his TV screen with the series Entourage in a dark room with a glᴀss table in front of him, he wrote: ‘I wasn’t at the Brits… and I wasn’t kissing anyone x.’ 

Despite it never being confirmed, Maura and Chris have been linked to each other on-and-off throughout the years.  

Back in 2022, they appeared put on a very cosy display as they left the National Television Awards together.

The stars, who both found fame on separate seasons of Love Island, were spotted getting close as they walked arm-in-arm and engrossed in each other’s company.

The pair then made their way to the a nearby H๏τel which was the venue for the ceremony’s swanky afterparty.

Prior to that, they were spotted enjoying a day date to Thorpe Park the year before – three weeks after her split from another former Love Islander, Chris Taylor.

Maura and the McFly star both attended Universal Music’s star-studded bash at 180 Strand.

Footage shared with The Sun newspaper shows the pair getting cosy at the London venue where they had also shared a table earlier in the night with their fellow I’m A Celeb co-star Oti Mabuse.

Danny has been married to wife Georgia since 2014 and the pair share six-year-old son Cooper.

The video reportedly taken just before 3am shows them stood close to each other in the venue’s foyer and leaning in to chat before he appears to peck her quickly.

They were then seen leaving the venue as part of a larger group including Danny’s bandmate Tom Fletcher.

Maura was seen for the first time since the kiss today near her EsSєx home 

Maura then headed home alone in a taxi.

An onlooker told the publication of the interaction: ‘Danny and Maura seemed to be having a great time. They looked like they had a brief drunken kiss.

‘Danny and Maura seem to have a close friendship after meeting in the jungle. They were talking and laughing for ages.’

The pair sat at different tables for the actual ceremony which was held earlier in the night at the 02 Arena.

But at the afterparty they did share a table and exclusive MailOnline footage showed them sitting close together, with Maura even resting her head on Danny’s shoulder at one point.

A source added of the night: ‘Danny appeared to be giving Maura advice and at one point he put his arm around her shoulder.’

Representatives for Maura and Danny have been contacted by MailOnline for comment. 

Before the kiss took place, Danny made a confession about his future plans on the Brit Awards red carpet.

Danny’s bandmate Tom Fletcher joked that he had ‘heard rumours’ that Danny’s ‘got some plans’ confessing he was ‘a bit scared’ about where the night was going

The official Brit Awards Instagram account entered the drama on Monday, sharing a video from the O2 red carpet which showed the singer admitting he wanted ‘less stress’ in his life.

Danny and his McFly bandmate Tom Fletcher took part in a tarot card reading during their red carpet interview, which saw Danny pull the sun card which he was told symbolises ‘positive, personal growth.’

He was then asked what is the one thing he hopes to achieve within the next year to which he replied: ‘Oh my word. Well… This might sound cheesy. Lower the stress in my life.’

The video then showed Tom pulling a card with his moon reading sparking the question about his ‘dream night’ and where the evening could take him.

Tom joked that he had ‘heard rumours’ that Danny’s ‘got some plans’ confessing he was ‘a bit scared’ about where the night was going and admitting ‘I’m just following him’ to any secret afterparty.  

Fans went wild over the video, commenting on the ‘terrible timing’ of the post, whilst others joked that the Brit Awards team were ‘doing the most’ to stir up drama. 

Shortly before his night out Danny joked about ‘leaving’ his wife.  

Speaking with Rob Beckett and Josh Widdecombe on their Parenting Hell podcast, Danny revealed to them he had moved house whilst on I’m A Celeb.

Danny said of his recent stressful house move: ‘Are you renovating? Same mate. It’s a nightmare isn’t it?’ as Rob joked: ‘Is that why you went in the jungle, to get money for the renovations?’ 

Danny has been married to wife Georgia since 2014 and the pair share seven-year-old son Cooper 

Josh then chimed in to say: ‘To get away with it. Have my kitchen done – three weeks in the jungle.’ 

Rob then quipped that ‘you’re honest when they go – why are you here? I’ve got a mᴀssive tax bill and she’s left me. That’s why I’m here. Give me the kangaroo d*** and let’s get this done.’ 

Danny then said: ‘Do you know what? I left my wife to move,’ before quipping: ‘I just left my wife,’ as all three of them laughed. 

Rob called it an ‘awkward exclusive’ before Josh said: ‘What an exclusive.’ 

Danny then explained: ‘I left my wife to move house so I’m surprised she’s still with me to be honest because she moved the house all by herself.’

Representatives for Maura and Danny have been contacted by MailOnline for comment. 

Danny’s wife Georgia made no mention of her husband in the latest episode of her podcast on Monday, released just hours after his kiss with Maura.

Georgia stayed silent on the controversy during her podcast Mum’s The Word with Kelsey Parker, which covered the importance of being present and living in the moment, opening up about spending time with their children.

However, Georgia kept her comments strictly on their son Cooper, giving her husband no mention at all – despite the fact it was more than likely pre-recorded. 

She chatted about parenting, made reference to their recent house move and even detailed their flight to Australia, which had been to see Danny while he was in the I’m A Celebrity jungle – but omitted any acknowledgment of the singer. 

Georgia, 38, held the fort at home while the McFly star jetted out to Australia in November to compete in I’m A Celebrity at the end of last year – where he was crowned King of the Jungle.

Meanwhile, Maura’s savage swipe at ‘cheating’ ex Pete Wicks has gone viral following her kiss with Danny [Maura and Pete pictured in May]

Meanwhile, Maura’s savage swipe at ‘cheating’ ex Pete Wicks has gone viral following her kiss with Danny. 

In the wake of the scandal, her harsh words towards the former TOWIE star, 37, reemerged after it was revealed last month that they’d agreed to part ways after a series of rows. 

As she enjoyed a Valentine’s night out days after the break-up news was revealed, Maura addressed their split for the first time as she left Sheesh restaurant in London with her friends. 

When asked by a pH๏τographer where Pete was, Maura, who stunned in a strapless red mini dress, replied: ‘Dunno, probably cheating,’ in the video obtained by The Sun. 

Meanwhile, fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to remark that Maura’s comments were ‘ironic’ in light of her current situation with Danny. 

Sharing their thoughts on the drama, they penned: ‘Isn’t this the same Maura who claimed Pete was “probably cheating” on Vday too….

‘Danny Jones and Maura Higgins cheating is quite ironic considering her recent comments “I don’t know, probably cheating.” on Pete Wicks whereabouts.’

‘So Maura blasts pete for cheating but kisses Danny jones… wtaf.’
