Love Island<\/a> star Chris Hughes<\/a> has been forced to address claims it was him kissing Maura Higgins<\/a> at the Brit Awards<\/a> after-party.<\/p>\n

McFly<\/a> star Danny Jones<\/a>, 38, and Love Island star Maura, 34, were seen sharing a kiss over the weekend<\/a> at the star-studded Universal Music party.<\/p>\n

However, rumours quickly surfaced that the man in question in the cosy video could be Love Island\u2019s Chris and not Danny.<\/p>\n

Chris, who appeared on the ITV<\/a> series back in 2017, took to his Instagram Stories to hit back after the claims from social media users.<\/p>\n

One TikTok user wrote: \u2018This looks like Chris Hughes, not Danny Jones??\u2019, while another added: \u2018Isn\u2019t this Chris Hughes she\u2019s kissing?\u2019<\/p>\n

Danny and Maura spent the night together at the Brit Awards,<\/a> and were later seen locking lips at around 3am, The Sun reported.<\/p>\n

Sources told the publication that Maura, who is newly single following her split from Pete Wicks<\/a>, \u2018seemed to be having a great time\u2019 with married Danny before the pair shared a \u2018brief drunken kiss\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018Danny and Maura seem to have a close friendship after meeting in the jungle.’ <\/p>\n

‘They were talking and laughing for ages,\u2019 a source told\u00a0The Sun<\/strong><\/a>, which also published videos of the apparent kiss.<\/p>\n

The publication reported Danny had been with his McFly bandmate Tom Fletcher before Maura walked over, with the pair spending about 90 minutes together.<\/p>\n

One said Danny, who has been married to wife Georgia Horsley since 2014<\/a>, \u2018appeared to be giving her advice and at one point put his arm around her shoulder\u2019.<\/p>\n

Maura was also reported to have \u2018laid her head on Danny\u2019s shoulder as they talked with friends\u2019.<\/p>\n

After sitting down at a table together and chatting with their campmate Oti Mabuse<\/a>, they walked into the foyer together around 3am \u2013 which is when they were filmed appearing to kiss.<\/p>\n

Soon after they left the party, each later being seen at the Sony after party at the Nobu Hotel where they were \u2018still grinning and joking about\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018Inside the party, it appeared to be just the two of them. The night was winding down as it was so early in the morning and a lot had gone home,\u2019 the source also said.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m A Celeb winner Danny has been married to former Miss England Georgia for over a decade, with the pair sharing son Cooper, 5.<\/p>\n

Maura recently split from Pete Wicks after a brief on-off romance, with reports claiming the pair decided to \u2018remain friends\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018There have been a few clashes, and it was eventually agreed they were better off as friends,\u2019 a source told MailOnline.<\/p>\n

\u2018Those closest to them know it\u2019s been a very on and off relationship, which is why they were so resistant to go public in the first place. They remain close and share a deep connection.\u2019<\/p>\n
