He admitted that breaking rules can add an element of fun and intrigue to the show: “Breaking the rules keeps it fun, something to talk about.” This candid admission comes as Jones continues to navigate the public eye following a high-profile scandal that saw him caught kissing Maura Higgins at the BRIT Awards afterparty in March 2025.
Marriage and Redemption
Off-screen, Danny Jones has been quietly working on repairing his marriage with long-time partner Shan Ally. The couple faced a rocky year before embracing a fresh start.

On-Screen Dynamics
At “I’m A Celebrity,” Jones found himself in a different dynamic from last year, where his relationship with Maura Higgins was the center of attention. This time around, he discussed the elimination of Ruby Wax and expressed shock at her departure: “It’s really tough. I’m just shocked that Ruby’s gone.” The show’s twists and turns have kept viewers engaged, even as Jones focuses on his personal journey.
