Marvin Humes confirmed he had reached out to Danny last week and insiders said the chat lit up when Danny celebrated his 39th birthday on March 12.

A source said: “Maura and Danny are in a I’m A Celeb WhatsApp group chat with their campmates.

“No one really ever speaks in it but on Danny’s birthday, everyone was pinging him a message in there.

“Maura didn’t send a message, which isn’t surprising.”

Danny issued an apology to his wife Georgia Horsley after he kissed Maura at a party at 180 Studios on the Strand.

He said in a statement: “Sorry it’s taken me a while to post this but I’ve taken some time out to be with those closest to me.

“I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation.

“I love them so much and we’ll continue to deal with this privately.”

The kiss plunged his marriage into crisis, with Georgia going to stay with friends.

Those close to Danny said the pair are now trying to get back on track and want to move forward.

A friend added: “Danny has talked with Georgia at length about that night.

“His actions were incredibly embarrassing and he has expressed how much he regrets it.

“Now is the time to move past it and try and get back to normal.”

Maura went back to work following that night and insiders said she was keen to draw a line in the sand and move on.

Earlier today she spent the day hanging out with Margot Robbie, a self confessed Love Island super-fan.

Maura shared a video of her toasting Margot with a glass of her Papa Salt Coastal Gin at an event in London.
