The reason Maura Higgins is ‘refusing to speak’ on the Danny Jones kissing furore has reportedly been revealed as she continues to lie low in Los Angeles.
The Love Island star, 34, and the married McFly star, 38, have hit headlines after being spotted ‘kissing’ at Universal’s BRIT Awards afterparty.
In the wake of the scandal, both Maura and Danny have been hit by a wave of criticism, with many furious on behalf of Danny’s wife and mother of his son Georgia.
Danny and his wife of ten years Georgia were seen for the first time since the scandal as they stepped out for a coffee together in London on Tuesday.
Maura is reportedly hoping to just ‘ride out the wave’ and ‘keep her head down’ amid the ‘relentless’ and ‘off the charts abuse’ she’s received since the news broke.
A source allegedly told The Sun: ‘Maura isn’t enjoying this one bit, which is why she’s keeping her head down.

‘Normally with Maura, everywhere she goes, it’s tagged on social media – be it a restaurant, event or city – she likes people knowing where she is.
‘But Maura is deliberately shying away because she just wants to ride out this furore. The negative comments she’s receiving for kissing a married man have hurt her bad and she would have read every one.’
MailOnline have contacted Maura’s representatives for comment.
Maura escaped the drama by flying across the pond for a work trip at the weekend and was snapped arriving at Los Angeles airport on Sunday.
According to The Mirror, the TV presenter’s friends have rallied behind her and urged people to show restraint, as Maura’s had a ‘horrendous’ week and been flooded with ‘horrific’ trolling on her social media.
One pal told the publication: ‘Maura is a tough character but the reaction to events of the last week has been utterly relentless, and it’s fair to say it’s taken its toll. She has found all of this very difficult to navigate.
‘She appreciates she’s in the public eye and there is extra interest around her, but the abuse is off the charts, and people need to calm down. She is trying to treat things as business as usual, but it’s hard.’
Georgia’s husband Danny has yet to publicly comment on the scandal and has not posted on Instagram since the night of the BRITs, in which he posed for a selfie with KSI and Tom Fletcher.
Danny failed to ‘like’ wife Georgia’s latest Instagram post on Tuesday after she broke her silence in the wake of his ‘drunken kiss’ with Maura.

It has led to some fans speculating that it is a tell-tale sign that all is not well in the Jones household following the kissing furore.
Georgia returned to social media to share a snap of the couple’s seven-year-old son Cooper.
The black and white image sees Cooper wearing a pair of dark sunglasses while playing on a handheld device.
Not addressing her husband or his recent antics with former Love Island star Maura, Georgia simply captioned her image with a blue love heart emoji.
A host of Georgia’s showbiz pals were quick to share their support for her in the comments.
Sarah Louise Merrygold, wife of JLS star Aston penned: ‘Little dude. sending you all my love.’
Binky Felstead wrote: ‘We got you girl! Adore you’, Anna Whitehouse shared: ‘Love you darling. We’ve got you’.

Chessie King added: ‘Absolutely adore you, we’re alllll rallied round you.’
Despite receiving a flood of supportive comments, Georgia decided to turn off the comments on all her posts.
Maura broke her social media silence on Sunday to announce that she was flying to Los Angeles for work, sharing a snap from her first class plane seat with a glass of champagne at the ready and captioned: ‘Exciting shoot’.
It marked her first post since footage emerged of her drunken kiss with Danny last Saturday at Universal Music’s party at 180 House.
A second video released shows the pair reportedly drinking wine together until 6am at a Sony party at Nobu Hotel in Marylebone.
While back home, reports suggest that Danny’s wife Georgia has issued a final warning in crisis talks about their marriage amid fears that a third video could leak of the night.
A source told the The Mirror: ‘Everyone would understand why Danny and his wife have been quiet. They are likely working through various discussions from the first video that was released alone. With this second video, Danny needs to now speak out.
‘Danny’s career should be halted at this point and he should be big enough to now speak out to everyone and explain what has happened and take some accountability.
Maura is reportedly ‘really struggling’ with the ‘relentless’ backlash she has received following her drunken kiss with Danny earlier this month
‘This is unfair on his wife, who seems to have put the family and their marriage first. Who knows if another video will emerge, but being honest is now the only way that this has a chance of resolving itself’.
Maura and Danny reportedly stayed up until 6am drinking wine after their ‘drunken kiss’ at a BRIT Awards afterparty.
It was claimed the pair then headed in separate taxis to a Sony party at Nobu Hotel in Marylebone, where they allegedly ‘knocked back wine until 6am’.
An onlooker told The Sun: ‘Danny and Maura seemed to be enjoying their night of partying and had no plans to call it a night.
‘They were knocking back wine at the Nobu from 4am and seemed keen to carry on. They weren’t seen leaving before 6am.’
The publication also claimed that Maura and Danny were seen ‘chatting intimately and laughing’ as they continued the party.
Reports of Danny’s ‘drunken kiss’ with Maura has reportedly been a ‘slap in the face’ for his wife of over 10 years, Georgia.
In the wake of the scandal, she has apparently made a pledge about her marriage and her future with the rocker.
However, it has now been reported that she is struggling to keep her mind on work and is ‘in a bad way’ due to the ‘relentless’ and ‘off the charts abuse’ she’s received since the news broke

A source told The Mirror: ‘She’s been an incredible partner to him so this feels very unfair. But Georgia is a strong woman, she won’t let it ruin what they have.’
The source went on to reveal that Danny and Maura regret their behaviour and have insisted that the ‘kiss’ was ‘innocent’.
They said: ‘Danny and Maura insist it was totally innocent and nothing meaningful. They got on really well in the jungle and it’s just foolish that they let themselves get caught up in something after a big party night, especially so publicly.’
Danny and his wife Georgia, a former Miss World, married in 2014 after meeting in 2009 at a Miss London event and share seven-year old son Cooper together.
Danny and Maura became friends after starring in the most recent series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and stayed connected on Instagram since the show ended last December.
Danny has even publicly shown his admiration for Maura by liking one of her sexy posts, which was shared in January, and pictured the influencer dressed in a black bra and leopard print dress.
The image, captioned ‘Ravenous’ by the influencer, showed Maura flaunting her slim frame in the figure-hugging outfit, posing with her arm outstretched across a wooden table.
Neither Georgia nor Danny have spoken in public since the ‘kiss’, with Georgia even cancelling a planned appearance at The Baby Show this weekend.

Georgia’s podcast co-host Kelsey Parker was forced to cancel a public Q&A at the Baby Show in London on Saturday after Georgia pulled out of the event all together.
Georgia, who co-hosts the podcast Mum’s The Word with best friend Kelsey, cancelled her appearance in the aftermath of her husband Danny‘s ‘drunken kiss’.
As Kelsey attended the event alone, a source revealed to MailOnline that the talk finished 15 minutes early and saw the star avoid the Q&A part of the event.
Confirming Georgia’s absence, an insider added: ‘Sitting down for a Q&A in front of a live audience is not what Georgia needs right now. She is mortified at how this has all played out and can’t help but feel humiliated.’
