TV networks are in a race to sign following her BRITs controversy. The reality star has fled to LA after kissing married McFly star at last weekend’s presigious music bash. She has been heavily criticised for the “drunken kiss” while Danny has been enduring crisis talks with his “humiliated” wife. The pair met after both appearing on last year’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
But a TV insider insists it hasn’t damaged Maura’s reputation – “it’s only enhanced it”. They continued: “Maura is very likeable and was a hit with viewers on . Yes she’s received backlash and in this situation, even though Danny is the married one, she’s going to get more grief. But from a TV perspective this just makes Maura more talked about and more in demand. ITV, Channel 4 and the have all been talking about how she might fit fronting a show for them.”
Maura – who shot to fame on Love Island – previously dated Strictly star but they called time on their relationship at the end of last year. ITV wanted to give her and Pete a show and were gutted when they split up but now she’s seen as a hot favourite as her fame goes from strength to strength.

It comes after Maura and Danny reportedly stayed up until 6am drinking wine after their ‘drunken kiss’ at a BRIT Awards afterparty.
It was claimed the pair then headed in separate taxis to a Sony party at Nobu Hotel in Marylebone, where they allegedly ‘knocked back wine until 6am’.
The ‘drunken kiss’ has reportedly been a ‘slap in the face’ for Danny’s wife of over 10 years, Georgia Horsley who has apparently held crisis talks about her future with the rocker.
On Monday Maura took to and revealed that she was escaping all the drama with a work trip to Los Angeles.
Sharing a snap of her in a first class plane seat, she penned in the caption: ‘Exciting shoot’, while a glass of champagne was seen nearby.
The star didn’t reveal what the job was but she’s flying into Tinseltown just as pilot season ramps up – with stars flying into the city to audition for new TV shows.
