Danny Jones has made his first TV appearance on Thursday after that drunken kiss with Maura Higgins on Saturday night. 

The McFly singer, 38, who is married to Georgia Horsley, hit the headlines after spending the evening with I’m A Celebrity co-star Maura, 34, at a BRIT’s afterparty.

Now Danny has made his first appearance on TV at Buckingham Palace following the scandal as he appeared on a pre-recorded episode of The One Show. 

The Voice judge was joined by his bandmate Tom Fletcher to read a short story at  the BBC programme’s 500 Words compeтιтion.

Appearing on stage to announce one of the short story winners, Danny said: ‘The silver winner in the age five to seven category is…Fun Cats by Michael Morley.’

The special, which was filmed on February 26, also featured hosts Roman Kemp and Alex Jones who announced the winners of the compeтιтion, where children were encouraged to send in their short stories.

Tom and Danny were also joined by Olivia Colman and Rose Ayling-Ellis to read out the winners. 

Speaking after the ceremony, Danny told the camera: ‘Today has been fun. Having a little boy myself, the power of stories, the power of imagination. It’s inspiring me, not just the kids, so it’s been an amazing day.’

It comes as Danny and his wife Georgia have reportedly been locked in crisis talks over the past few days over his drunken kiss with Maura.

His wife of ten years Georgia is said to be ‘humilated’ over the betrayal, but a new report has suggested that she has forgiven her husband after they left their London home for crunch talks. 

A source has told The Sun: ‘This saga has been embarrᴀssing and Danny had a lot of explaining to do.’

A pal added of the couple, who are parents to son Cooper, seven: ‘Danny and Georgia have been together for a long time and have spoken about that night. They are keen to just move past it and get on with their lives.

‘Danny and Georgia are both committed to each other and are moving on with their lives.’

MailOnline have contacted reps for Danny, Georgia and Maura for comment.

Neither Georgia nor her husband Danny, who she married in 2014, have spoken in public since he was caught enjoying a late-night smooch with former Love Islander Maura, 34. 

It is understood that Georgia has not recorded any new editions of her podcast since The Sun obtained footage of Danny and Maura getting cosy at a Brits bash.

The latest edition of the Mum’s The Word podcast was released on Monday, but was recorded before the news of the kissing furore. 

A ‘humilated’ Georgia has also pulled out of a public Q&A at The Baby Show this weekend.

The video of Danny and Maura, reportedly taken just before 3am, shows them standing 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, with Maura then heading 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 O2 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.’

The latest edition of Georgia’s Mum’s The Word podcast with friend Kelsey Parker was released on Monday, but was recorded before the news of the kissing furore. 

Georgia and Kelsey chatted about the importance of being present and living in the moment, opening up about spending time with their children.

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.

While another moment in the episode saw her becoming emotional as Kelsey gave her pal a slew of compliments, after a fan asked the pair to say what they liked most about each other.

Touched, Georgia said: ‘Thanks, aww Kels. Don’t because I’ll cry!’ before she tellingly added: ‘Nah I’m alright, I’m not in an emotional vulnerable state today so we’re okay.’

Kelsey chimed in to tell listeners: ‘[Georgia’s] tired, but she’s a different tired.’
