The video of Danny and Maura at a BRITs after-party was published by the tabloids earlier this month, appearing to show the pair leaning in for a kiss.
Danny became friends with Maura after spending time with her in the I'm A Celebrity jungle. Danny has been married to former Miss England Georgia for 10 years, and they've been together for over 15. They also share a son, Cooper, who is now seven years old.
During his time on I'm A Celeb Danny moved fans to tears in a reunion with his wife and son where he was visibly emotional as Copper jumped into his arms.
As for Maura, on the show she opened up about dating former TOWIE star Pete Wicks but in February seemed to confirm things between them had ended.
On Valentine's day Maura was papped out with her friend and when the tabloids asked her where Pete was she delivered a pretty clear jibe at him, replying: "I don't know, probably cheating."
Maura has not yet addressed the viral video of her and Danny.
