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.

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.
