Danny Jones' wife Georgia breaks down in tears and admits 'I felt like a failure' as she makes emotional first TV appearance since his drunken kiss with Maura Higgins

Daily Mail​16-06-2025
Danny Jones ' wife Georgia broke down in tears and admitted 'I felt like a failure' as she made an emotional first TV appearance since his drunken kiss with Maura Higgins.
The 38-year-old - who shares a son called Cooper with her husband Danny, 38 - appeared on This Morning to talk to hosts Cat Deeley, 48, and Ben Shephard, 50, about post-natal depression.
The couple - who tied the knot in 2014 - welcomed their son into the world 2018.
Georgia spoke to some professionals about the matter, as well as some other mothers who have suffered with the same as her.
Talking about her experience, she bravely said: 'I felt like I was failing. At being a mum. I thought hopefully I'll do better today and then I didn't... I thought, what's wrong with me.
'What Danny found hard was that he couldn't fix it, he didn't know how to solve the problem.

'I went to therapy and it's the best thing I've ever done.
'I lost my sparkle, I'd look back at old pictures of myself and think 'she wasn't there.'
'If I'd had support maybe I wouldn't have spent 18 months not being me.'
It is Georgia's first appearance on television since husband Danny, 38, was seen kissing his former I'm A Celeb co-star and Love Island favourite Maura, 34, at the annual showbiz bash in February.
It comes a day after Georgia posted her first picture of Danny as part of a Father's Day tribute on Instagram on Sunday - following his drunken kiss with Maura.
The couple weathered a rough patch following Danny's drunken snog with Love Island star Maura at the BRITs afterparty in February.
The podcaster, 38, who has kept quiet throughout the scandal, posted a picture of her father and one of Danny to celebrate the special day.
Georgia, who shares son Cooper, seven, with Danny captioned the post: 'For the Dads Happy Father's Day'.
It has been over two months since Danny and Georgia have been pictured together in public after they seemingly put on a 'united front' and decided to remain in their 10-year relationship.
At the end of May Georgia gave an insight into her 'life lately' with an update - but failed to mention the McFly star.
She shared a series of recent photos with Cooper and her friends - with Danny missing.
She captioned the post: 'Life lately… Friends, family, filming, fresh air and fun… lots of lovely fun.'
Danny and Georgia's marriage was rocked after the I'm A Celeb winner shared a drunken kiss with campmate Maura at a Universal Records party and further reports claimed the pair had continued their night until 6am, sharing wine together at Nobu Hotel bar.
Danny, who apologised to his wife and family for 'putting them in this situation', has stayed living at the couple's West London home, where Georgia moved to on her own as he appeared on the ITV jungle series in December.
Sources told MailOnline that despite their efforts, Danny and Georgia are like 'passing ships' and friends fear their relationship is hanging on by a thread.
A source told MailOnline: 'Danny and Georgia have been trying to navigate a very difficult time in their marriage and for the best part they have been taking each day as it comes.
'They may be living under the same roof, but they barely see each other and right now are like passing ships.
'Danny is preparing for his summer gigs with McFly, and Georgia has been attending influencer events and collaborating with brands, all while looking after son, Cooper, who regularly features on her Instagram profile.
'But when they're not working, Danny is out on his motorbike or exercising in the gym, and Georgia is either on her own or spending time with family and girlfriends.
'They haven't actually been publicly seen together for six weeks and behind the scenes, their relationship is anything but normal.'
Georgia, who's a former Miss England, temporarily moved out of the family home in the wake of the kissing scandal.
But after deciding to give their marriage a second chance, she returned to the property as sources claimed Danny was willing to do 'anything to make it work.'
MailOnline contacted Danny's representatives for comment at the time.

Oisin Murphy fined £70,000 for drink-driving offence which led to car accident

Oisin Murphy, the reigning champion jockey on the Flat, was fined £70,000 with an additional £2,000 surcharge and £85 in costs at Reading magistrates court on Thursday after pleading guilty to a drink-driving charge following a crash in the early hours of 27 April. Murphy, 29, who was also banned from driving for 20 months, was described in court as having tested 'just shy' of twice the legal limit for alcohol around seven hours after the crash. He returned a reading of 66 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath, well above the legal limit of 35 micrograms per 100ml of breath. He was not required to plead to an additional charge of failing to provide a test sample at the roadside, following what was described as 'a misunderstanding between him and the police officers' by Richard Atkins, representing the Crown Prosecution Service. The court heard that Murphy admitted to police at the scene that he had been the driver of the grey Mercedes A-Class car, which left the road near Hermitage, West Berkshire, and collided with a tree. A female passenger in the car was subsequently taken to hospital. Murphy missed four booked rides at Southwell later the same day, but returned to race-riding at Windsor on the evening of 28 April, where he rode a double.

Ringo Starr says he asked for changes in Beatles movie script

Former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr said that he personally intervened in the script of the forthcoming four-film Beatles biopic directed by Sam Mendes to clarify the depiction of himself and his then wife Maureen. In an interview with the New York Times, Starr said that he had met Mendes in London in April and spent two days discussing the script for the section of the project focusing on him. Having gone through the script in detail, Starr said that Mendes 'had a writer [involved] – very good writer, great reputation, and he wrote it great, but it had nothing to do with Maureen and I,' Starr said. 'That's not how we were. I'd say, 'We would never do that.'' Starr met Maureen Cox in 1962 when the Beatles were performing at the Cavern club in Liverpool and they were married in 1965; they divorced in 1975 and she subsequently married Isaac Tigrett, co-founder of the Hard Rock Cafe. She died in 1994 from leukaemia. Her and Starr's son Zak Starkey also became a drummer, with Starr recently defending him after he was fired by the Who. According to New York Times writer Lindsay Zoladz, Starr is now 'much more satisfied with how he's depicted in the script' and that he sends director Mendes 'peace and love'. Starr will be played in the films by Irish actor Barry Keoghan, star of The Banshees of Inisherin and Saltburn, whose casting was accidentally revealed by Starr in November in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. Keoghan's role in the project was officially announced in April, alongside castmates Joseph Quinn (George Harrison), Harris Dickinson (John Lennon) and Paul Mescal (Paul McCartney). Keoghan recently talked about meeting Starr to prepare for the role, saying he was too nervous to look at him. In an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Keoghan said he was 'in awe' and 'just froze'. 'When I was talking to him, I couldn't look at him. I was nervous … he was like, 'You can look at me'.' He added: 'My job is to observe and take in kind of mannerisms and study, but I want to humanise him and bring feelings to him, not just sort of imitate him.' Mendes is acting as producer on all four films along with regular collaborators Pippa Harris and Julie Pastor. In May reports emerged that he had hired award-winning writers Jez Butterworth, Peter Straughan and Jack Thorne to work on the films. Mendes' Beatles films are scheduled to be released in 2028.

"I'm a very low key person. I'm kind of on the outskirts of everything. I love my life and the job I do, I'm very grateful and blessed, but the industry... I'm not 'in it, in it'. "I've dated people who are more 'in it' than me and it's a whole new world for me. It's very odd. "If someone wants to take a picture of you then fair enough, but I don't know why. I'm really not that interesting." Chelcee was opening up about her dating history with Boots presents Taboo Talk host Vogue Williams in an episode focusing on Coming Out. Former footballer Chelcee met Christine when they both competed in ITV 's The Games, hosted by Holly Willoughby and Freddie Flintoff.
