Maura Higgins tries to keep things low key in LA after she fled the country as the fall out to her snog with Danny Jones continues.
Maura struggled to raise a smile as she touched down, a week on from the drunken BRIT Awards afterparty kiss with married McFly singer Danny was revealed. She wore shades and a cap as she tried not to be noticed, opting for a one-piece bodysuit and white jumper on the ten hour flight.
Looking downcast as she was spotted Los Angeles International Airport, her escape comes as pressure grows on the pair who have not yet addressed the scandal. Last weekend, a video emerged of newly-single Maura, who had recently split from Pete Wicks, and married Danny sharing a drunken kiss at the Universal Music BRITS afterparty.
Maura yesterday shared a photo from inside the plane on her Instagram story, hours after new reports claimed she and Danny had partied together until 6am at the bash. The post is the first on her account since her a video emerged of the pair locking lips following the boozy event.
The snap saw Maura’s point of view from a luxurious British Airways plane, the photo shows the view of a runway from through a small plan window while a table next to the window can be seen, which has an iPad, headphones and a glass of wine resting on.
On a screen shown in the image, the British Airways logo can be seen while Maura’s seat number of 23 A as well as her route starting point and destination. It appears Maura is travelling from London Heathrow Airport to Los Angeles International Airport. As she posted the photo of her view on her Instagram story, she wrote on the image: “Exciting shoot” followed by a plane emoji.
Maura’s post comes after new details emerged last night about the Love Island star’s night out with her I’m A Celebrity campmate Danny. At the time it was claimed the pair “seemed to be having a great time” at the afterparty. The source later added: “They looked like they had a brief drunken kiss.” The I’m A Celeb campmates were later photographed smiling as they left the bash alongside their fellow former campmate Oti Mabuse.
Danny then reportedly ‘moved away’ to speak to others while Maura walked towards a chauffeur-driven car, while ‘shouting Danny’s name’.
Since the footage was released both Danny and Maura have kept tight-lipped on the controversial kiss. The pair have also kept a low-profile as they have avoided posting to their Instagram accounts while Danny’s wife Georgia – who is said to have felt ‘slapped in the face’ by the kiss – cancelled a public appearance.
