The I’m A Celeb group chat ‘has died down’

GK admitted: “We had a group chat. It has died down slightly as you can imagine, it’s died down.”

She added: “But I still keep in contact with the Rev (Richard Coles) – and Dean (McCullough). I still keep in contact with a little bit, but mainly the Rev and Melvin (Odoom).”

GK then said: “I keep in contact with Melvin quite a lot.”

Maura and Danny’s scandal

Following the Danny and Maura scandal, his wife Georgia has reportedly given Danny a second chance. The couple are said to be working through the situation privately.

Maura, meanwhile, has kept a low profile. However, the Love Island star is said to be gearing up for her TV comeback, starting with an appearance on the BBC’s reboot of Blankety Blank, hosted by Bradley Walsh.

“Since that unfortunate incident, Maura’s kept to modelling jobs and posting glossy social media videos,” a source told The Sun. “But this will be her first TV appearance. She’s opening herself up to ribbing and scrutiny. But the BBC has ensured the drunken kiss stays off-limits because it’s a family show.”
