Celebrity MasterChef 2022: Danny Jones's wife and career with McFly

Best known for being part of the boyband McFly Danny Jones is now putting his cooking skills to the test and taking part in Celebrity MasterChef 2022. He will be competing in the first heat against reality TV star Faye Winter, Paul Chuckle, comedian Kae Kurd and Nancy Dell'Olio, who you can read more about here.

The celebrities will face the normal challenges of trying to impress judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode with their own recipes and ones that they have to follow. Challenges returning this year are Under The Cloche, The Street Food Challenge, and Dinner Party Dish.

So far fans of the show have not been impressed with the celebrities and Nancy was the first star to leave the competition after she tried to cook her coleslaw. Celebrity MasterChef continues on BBC One on Thursday, August 11 at 8pm.

Who is Danny married to?

Danny is married to model and former Miss England, Georgia Horsley. The couple married in 2014 in North Yorkshire and they have one son together Cooper Alf Jones who was born in 2018.

The couple had been together for four years when Danny proposed to Georgia while on holiday in Cyprus in 2013. At the wedding popstar Ellie Goulding sang her hit song How Long Will I Love You? for their first dance.

Georgia often shares snippets of their life together on Instagram and videos of their son Cooper. Danny recently told Hello! Magazine how proud he was of Georgia.

He said: "She is amazing, she makes me very proud. Every time I am on my way home, I just get really excited to see them. She keeps us all together."

Danny's McFly career

Danny has been a member of McFly, alongside Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter, and Harry Judd, since the band formed in 2003. The band has seven number one singles.

Their debut single, 5 Colours In Her Hair, quickly topped the charts and they have released six studio albums. Their most recent studio album Young Dumb Thrills was released in 2020.

The band recently went on tour earlier in 2022, called One Night Only...Again. Danny is also a coach on The Voice Kids UK, which is aired on ITV.
