Speaking on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, Danny revealed he was immediately taken by Georgia and her northern accent after meeting her at an event.

'It took me a year to get her because I invited her out for a roast. It was just like clubbing, we couldn't talk,' he told his fellow campmates. 'I was like "Do you wanna go to the pub tomorrow?" and she was like "Yeah". I text her in the morning and she was like "Sorry, I can't make it".'

'And then weeks went on and she didn't make it, couldn't make it, turning me down. And I gave up in the end,' Danny continued. 'Then about eleven months later she text me saying "Do you wanna go out for a drink or get breakfast?" and I was like "Yes!"'

'So I picked her up and took her to the waffle house in St. Albans. That was literally like twelve months later.'

At the time, he and Georgia posed for a selfie as she showed off her sparkler. He wrote: 'The future mrs j yeahhhhhhhh!!!'

Georgia later wrote: 'Soooo this happened tonight!! I'M ENGAGED!!!!! So so happy!!!'

Tying the knot

Danny Jones became the third McFly member to walk down the aisle when he wed Georgia in August 2014.

The couple said 'I do' in front of their close friends and family in a ceremony in Old Malton, North Yorkshire. Luckily, the temperamental UK weather behaved itself on their big day.

Georgia was a blushing bride in a glamorous lace fishtail Stephanie Allin gown with beaded embellishments and a long train.

Speaking previously about their wedding day to Hello! magazine, Danny sweetly said: 'When I saw Georgia, I couldn’t really take it. My legs shook. It was the most amazing view I’ve ever seen.'

His best man and McFly bandmate Tom Fletcher jokingly added: 'I thought Danny was going to pass out.'

A host of well-known faces were in attendance from Busted stars James Bourne and Matt Willis to singer Ellie Goulding, who serenaded Georgia and Danny during their first dance with a rendition of How Long Will I Love You.

Danny and Georgia announced they were expecting in July 2017. At the time, he told Hello! magazine: 'I'm going to be a mess at the birth – when I find out if we have a son or a daughter, when I meet him or her.'

'I'd love to know but we’ve decided we want to have that big surprise.'

Danny made headlines for all the wrong reasons after he was papped sharing a smooch at a BRIT Awards after party with his I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! co-star Maura Higgins.

The pair remained tight-lipped on the situation until Danny released a short statement on March 14, nearly two weeks later, publicly apologising to his family.

It read: '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 and family for putting them in this situation,' he continued. '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.'
