Star Girl singer Danny issued a statement days after the scandal broke. He wrote in a statement on Stories: “Hello everyone. 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 for putting them in this situation. I love them so much and we’ll continue to deal with this privately.

“I love you guys, thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. See you all soon, Danny.” Earlier this month, his wife, Georgia Horsley, broke cover and was spotted looking upbeat more than a year after the scandal.

Spotted at a Marks and Spencer event, the mum-of-one shared a photo of herself smiling beside a rooftop swimming pool in London and wrote: "My first event in a while & really looking forward to seeing some gorgeous humans."
