Danny continued: "I love you guys, thank you for your patience, understanding and support.

"See you all soon, Danny."

Meanwhile, just an hour before Danny uploaded his apology to his wife Georgia on Instagram, Maura had shared a series of sexy posts online.

The former Love Island star is currently in Los Angeles and posted some sizzling shots from a photo shoot to her own Instagram account.

In the snaps and footage, Maura is dressed in a little white frock, cowboy boots and a white stetson hat.

With her hair styled in beachy waves, she is sat in the back of a truck while clutching a bottle of beer.

The Sun exclusively revealed earlier this month how Danny and Maura were caught on camera sharing a 'drunken kiss' following this year's Brit Awards in London.

At the time, model and social media star Georgia was at home with their son Cooper, seven.

We later revealed how Danny and Maura were spotted again sharing wine at London's exclusive Nobu Hotel until 6am.

The pair were seen in a video gazing at each other at the fancy establishment, which they visited soon after their 3am smooch.

Pals said he was keen to draw a line under the scandal, which saw him holding crisis talks with Georgia, his wife of ten years.

A friend added: “Danny wants to draw a line in the sand and move on.

“He has talked with Georgia, and they just want to carry on with their lives.

“His actions were incredibly embarrassing, and he has expressed how much he regrets it.

“Now is the time to move past it and try and get back to normal.”

Danny and Georgia left their home in London following the news of their kiss.

Maura also fled the UK and headed to Los Angeles for a photoshoot with Oh Polly.

She has still not spoken about the kiss.

McFly's Danny Jones and wife Georgia Horsley - Love Story

MCFLY singer Danny Jones and his wife Georgia Horsley's romance is at the centre of attention after his 'drunken snog' with Love Island alum Maura Higgins. Yet when did they meet?

Danny began a relationship with model Georgia back in 2010.

He had been going out with his now-wife for four years when he proposed to her in Cyprus, in 2013.

They married the next August in her hometown in a ceremony which featured musical performances by McBusted and Ellie Goulding.

Danny and Georgia welcomed a new baby boy called Cooper Alf Jones on January 27, 2018.

Yet their romance was rocked in 2025 when Danny and Maura's boozy 3am smooch at The BRITs was made public.
