Amid all the speculation online, Chris, who was linked to the Glow Up Ireland anchor back in 2021, was accused of being the one in the video with Maura.

He posted: “I wasn’t at the Brits … and I wasn’t kissing anyone x.”

An insider told The Sun: “A lot of people on socials were saying it was Chris who Maura was seen kissing.

“Chris and Maura are pals.”

Guitarist Danny, 38, and single Love Island star Maura, 34, have not yet commented on the footage.

Four years ago, Maura was spotted on a sweet date day at Thorpe Park with reality star turned ITV racing pundit, Chris.

They sparked romance rumours when Maura was seen flirtatiously whispering in Chris’s ear.

They continued to fuel speculation as they left the National Television Awards together in the same year.

An onlooker said: “Danny and Maura seemed to be having a great time.

“They looked like they had a brief drunken kiss.

“Danny and Maura seem to have a close friendship after meeting in the jungle.

“They were talking and laughing for ages.”
