Kelsey Parker forced to cancel public Q&A and wraps up her show early after Danny Jones’ wife Georgia pulled out of event – days after her husband’s ‘drunken kiss’ with Maura Higgins at a BRITs afterparty

Kelsey Parker was forced to cancel the public Q&A during her appearance at the Baby Show in London on Saturday after her podcast co-host Georgia Jones pulled out of the event all together earlier this week. 

Georgia, who co-hosts the podcast Mum’s The Word with best friend Kelsey, cancelled her appearance in the aftermath of her husband Danny Jones’ ‘drunken kiss’ with his I’m A Celeb co-star Maura Higgins at a raucous Brits afterparty last weekend. 

And as Kelsey attended the event alone, a source revealed to MailOnline that the talk finished 15 minutes early and saw the star avoid the Q&A part of the chat. 

MailOnline have contacted Georgia and Kelsey’s representatives for comment. 

It comes after an insider told The Mail earlier this week that Georgia would not be attending the event after her husband’s antics hit the headlines. 

They said: ‘Sitting down for a Q&A in front of a live audience is not what Georgia needs right now. She is mortified at how this has all played out and can’t help but feel humiliated.’ 

Neither Georgia nor her husband Danny, who she married in 2014, have spoken in public since he was caught enjoying a late-night smooch with former Love Islander Maura, 34.

It is understood that Georgia has not recorded any new editions of the podcast since The Sun obtained footage of Danny and Maura getting cosy at a Brits bash.

The video reportedly taken just before 3am shows them standing close to each other in the venue’s foyer and leaning in to chat before he appears to peck her quickly.

They were then seen leaving the venue as part of a larger group including Danny’s bandmate Tom Fletcher, with Maura then heading home alone in a taxi.

An onlooker told the publication of the interaction: ‘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.’

The pair sat at different tables for the actual ceremony which was held earlier in the night at the O2 Arena.

But at the afterparty they did share a table and exclusive MailOnline footage showed them sitting close together, with Maura even resting her head on Danny’s shoulder at one point.

A source added of the night: ‘Danny appeared to be giving Maura advice and at one point he put his arm around her shoulder.’

The latest edition of the Mum’s The Word podcast was released on Monday, but was recorded before the news of the kissing furore.

Georgia and Kelsey chatted about the importance of being present and living in the moment, opening up about spending time with their children.

She chatted about parenting, made reference to their recent house move and even detailed their flight to Australia, which had been to see Danny while he was in the I’m A Celebrity jungle.

While another moment in the episode saw her becoming emotional as Kelsey gave her pal a slew of compliments, after a fan asked the pair to say what they liked most about each other.

Touched, Georgia said: ‘Thanks, aww Kels. Don’t because I’ll cry!’ before she tellingly added: ‘Nah I’m alright, I’m not in an emotional vulnerable state today so we’re okay.’

Kelsey chimed in to tell listeners: ‘[Georgia’s] tired, but she’s a different tired.’
