Maura higgins 'lined-up for major dating show' after danny jones kiss scandal

FORMER LOVE ISLAND STAR MAURA HIGGINS IS SAID TO BE LINED UP FOR A HUGE CHANNEL 4 SHOW FOLLOWING HER CONTROVERSIAL KISS WITH MCFLY STAR DANNY JONES AT THE BRIT AWARDS 10:04, 07 Mar 2025

Channel 4 bosses are reportedly desperate to get Maura Higgins on board for the next series of Celebs Go Dating. Maura, 34, is no stranger to reality TV, after becoming a household name back

in 2019 after shooting to fame on Love Island. The Irish beauty has since went on to present Glow Up Ireland and Love Island USA, and most recently, she appeared in the I'm A

Celebrity....Get Me Out of Here! jungle. The Australian jungle is where Maura first laid eyes on fellow campmate and McFly star Danny Jones. The pair have made headlines over the past week

after they were filmed sharing a kiss at the BRIT Awards. Neither Danny, 38, or Maura is yet to comment on the kiss, but fans have been left fuming given the fact Danny has been married to

wife Georgia since 2014. Following her controversial BRIT Awards kiss with Danny, Celebs Go Dating bosses are now reportedly desperate to secure Maura for the upcoming 2025 series of the

popular reality TV show. Sources claim Maura was already being courted following her recent break-up with fellow reality TV icon Pete Wicks, and now show insiders are even more keen to have

her on board. READ MORE: Olivia Attwood shares the 'divine' body serum she loves that ‘smells insane’ Article continues below "Celebs Go Dating are desperate to sign Maura

Higgins," the insider told The Sun. "They were already circling her after her split from Pete Wicks landed her back on the dating market. But since she’s found herself back in the

headlines after appearing to share a drunken kiss with Danny Jones at the Brits, they are hell-bent on signing her up as they know it would be a huge talking point for the show." Maura

cheekily joked that Pete was 'out cheating' on Valentine's Day just days after their split. Pete and Maura, who had been friends for six years, entered into a romantic

relationship at the end of last year. However, after spending Christmas and New Year's together, things seemingly turned bitter between the pair and they split before Valentine's

Day. While Maura spent the day of love with her close friends as they enjoyed a posh dinner before a night out on the town, Pete was nowhere to be seen on Valentine's Day. After

enjoying a lavish meal and drinks alongside her pals, Maura was questioned about Pete's whereabouts by the paparazzi as she departed the venue. In an unexpected turn of events, when

Maura was asked where Pete was, she replied with: "Dunno. Probably out cheating." Pete was said to have been left deeply hurt by Maura's apparent joke. It comes after Maura

was filmed kissing fellow I'm A Celebrity star Danny at a BRIT Awards afterparty. The leaked footage of Danny and Maura at Universal's afterparty event, which was captured just

before 3am, shows the pair standing together, leaning in for what appears to be a drunken kiss. The kiss has sparked widespread outrage due to Danny's marriage to his wife Georgia, whom

he tied the knot with in 2014, and with whom he shares a six-year-old son, Cooper. Article continues below The Mirror has approached Maura's representatives for comment on this story.
