MAURA Higgins ditched her bra and dazzled in a princess-style ballgown at the Bafta TV Awards - as Danny Jones dodged the event following their drunken kiss.

The TV personality, 34, beamed as she made her way onto the red carpet at London's Royal Festival Hall in the glamourous outfit.

The halter neck design showed off her slender frame, while the puffy skirt elevated the whole look.

There was no risk of an awkward run-in with I'm A Celeb co-star Danny, 39, after their shock drunken smooch at a Brits after-party earlier in the year.

The McFly man decided against going to the glitzy event to guarantee no more tongues were set wagging.

While Maura is ready to resume life in the spotlight after laying low since the kiss.

A source told The Sun on Sunday: “She thinks enough time has passed. She can’t hide forever.

“She’s going to spend all morning before the bash getting glammed up and strut down the red carpet with her head held high.”

They added: “She won’t be answering any questions about the kiss.

"She’s put the whole incident behind her and feels she has nothing to be ashamed of.

Danny won’t be attending though as he is focusing on his family life and work.

"He wouldn’t do anything to make wife Georgia doubt him and doesn’t want to set a foot wrong.”

His ex-Miss England wife Georgia, 38, briefly stayed with a pal amid the fallout from the kiss before moving back to the family home in West London.

The couple have a seven-year-old son.

Contrite Danny wrote online: “I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family.

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

Maura, who dated Strictly star Pete Wicks, will fly out to Fiji next month to host US Love Island’s sister show After Sun.
