Danny Jones’ wife, Georgia Horsley, has revealed that it took the McFly musician an entire year to convince her to go on a date.
The former Miss England, 38, confessed in a candid interview that she initially had doubts about Danny due to his reputation,
assuming he fit the stereotype of a typical musician with a busy romantic history.
The revelation comes at a particularly turbulent time for the couple, as Danny, also 38,
is currently embroiled in controversy after being caught on camera sharing a drunken kiss with Love Island star Maura Higgins at Universal Music’s BRIT Awards afterparty.
The footage, which surfaced over the weekend, has placed significant strain on his ten-year marriage to Georgia.
Georgia and Danny first met in 2008, but she admitted that she wasn’t immediately interested in the McFly star. Speaking on the “Never Have I Ever” podcast hosted by Joel Dommett and Hannah Cooper in November 2024, Georgia shared how Danny had attempted to woo her but initially came across as “a bit of a d*ck.” She revealed that when he first asked her out, he even mentioned having “two other dates lined up.”
Her initial reluctance stemmed from the perception that he was likely a “top shagger,” a term she used to describe her assumption that he was heavily involved in the dating scene. Despite her reservations, Danny remained persistent, continuing to ask her out for a year before she finally agreed. Georgia humorously reflected on the situation, saying, “I do like to drop that into conversation every now and again. He wanted me for a year.”
Eventually, in 2009, she decided to give Danny a chance, following some encouragement from her mother, who told her, “Oh darling, what have you got to lose? Go on, go and enjoy yourself.” The couple’s relationship flourished, leading to their engagement in 2013 and marriage in 2014. They later welcomed their son, Cooper, who is now seven years old.
While Georgia and Danny’s relationship has stood the test of time, recent events have cast a shadow over their marriage. The scandal involving Maura Higgins erupted after video footage emerged of Danny and the reality star sharing an intimate moment at the BRITs afterparty. According to reports, the pair spent the night together in a cozy booth at the event, where they were also seated with I’m A Celebrity co-star Oti Mabuse.
Following the incident, resurfaced comments made by Danny in a recent interview have only added fuel to the fire. While appearing on the “Parenting Hell” podcast with Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe, Danny joked about “leaving” his wife. The conversation initially revolved around the stress of moving homes, with Danny revealing that their house was being renovated while he was in the jungle for I’m A Celebrity.
Rob jokingly suggested that Danny went on the reality show “to get money for the renovations,” while Josh quipped that it was just a convenient excuse to “get away with it.” The lighthearted exchange took an awkward turn when Danny said, “Do you know what? I left my wife to move.” He quickly added, “I just left my wife,” leading to laughter among the hosts.
Although the remarks were made in jest, they have resurfaced at an inconvenient time, given the recent controversy surrounding his night with Maura Higgins.
Danny and Georgia, who have been together for over a decade, now face increased public scrutiny as fans and media outlets speculate about the future of their marriage. While neither Danny nor Georgia has publicly addressed the scandal in depth, representatives for both Danny and Maura have been contacted for comment.
For now, Georgia remains silent on the matter, but given her past admission of how long it took for Danny to win her over, many are wondering whether this latest incident will put their marriage to the ultimate test.
