Pete Wicks has quipped his Brit Awards night was ‘uneventful’, after his former flame Maura Higgins and McFly singer Danny Jones were caught in a kissing scandal.
The two I’m A Celebrity stars shocked fans when they were filmed looking very cosy and appearing to share a ‘drunken kiss’ at an afterparty.
Neither Love Island star Maura, 34, and Masked Singer winner Danny, 38, have addressed the moment, with fans stunned over the video, given that Danny has been married to Georgia Horsley for over 10 years and they share a little boy together.
It was previously claimed that Strictly star Pete, who split from Maura just months ago, was ‘relieved’ to be away from all the drama, and he’s now purposefully avoided any mention of what went on that night.
Speaking on his Staying Relevant podcast with best friend Sam Thompson, Pete, 36, said: ‘So a lot happened at the Brits, an awful lot happened at the Brits. I am probably going to leave that there because… a lot happened at the Brits but we’re just going to move on from that and we’ll tell you about our Brits experience.’
‘Our Brits was great, we had a lovely Brits experience,’ Sam chimed in with, going on to talk about the antics of their night and the celebrities they met.
Later in the podcast, Pete said: ‘Nothing happened there for us, but we had a great time at the Universal afterparty, we stayed there for a little bit, had a few drinks.’
As Sam said ‘We did it right,’ Pete interrupted with: ‘No, no, no, it’s not that other people did it wrong, no, no, no.’
‘What I mean is at these parties, you don’t want to linger for too long, we got there nice and early and left the Brits a little bit early, got there before the crush happens, and then had a few drinks, had a really good time, spoke to loads of people and then left at about one, which is the perfect time before everything gets a little bit messy,’ Sam clarified.
‘Got straight in, had loads of shots, had a really good time, happy days, very uneventful for us, and then we left,’ Pete added.
This comes after sources claimed Pete was glad he parted ways with Maura when he did.
The pair were believed to have started dating in August, having been spotted numerous times in public locking lips and looking very initimate.
However, they reportedly called it quits on Valentine’s Day due to a series of arguments.
Following single Maura and married man Danny’s liaison, an insider close to Pete told OK! Magazine: ‘This sort of attention is exactly what Pete doesn’t want.
‘He’s seen this sort of media circus happen when he was on Towie and it’s not the sort of relationship he wants.’
They added: ‘It’s a shame because it will probably bring his guard back up and he just wants to find someone he can genuinely love.’
The source also claimed that neither Maura nor Danny viewed their apparent kiss as anything ‘meaningful’ as it was ‘totally innocent’.
‘They got on really well in the jungle, and it’s just foolish that they let themselves get caught up in something after a big party night, especially so publicly,’ said the insider.
