Danny Jones’ wife Georgia broke down in tears and admitted ‘I felt like a failure’ as she made an emotional first TV appearance since his drunken kiss with Maura Higgins. 

The 38-year-old – who shares a son called Cooper with her husband Danny, 38 – appeared on This Morning to talk to hosts Cat Deeley, 48, and Ben Shephard, 50, about post-natal depression.

According to the NHS website, postnatal depression ‘is a type of depression that many parents experience after having a baby’.

The couple – who tied the knot in 2014 – welcomed their son into the world 2018.

Talking about her experience, she bravely said: ‘The immense love I have for him now (Cooper) wasn’t always there in the beginning.

‘The hardest part for me, becoming a mum, was just that. Becoming a mum. It was the initial entrance of Cooper into the world and how I felt.

‘It wasn’t that instant gushy “Oh my God I love my baby so much” and I think because I didn’t feel that, I felt so much pressure on myself.

‘I wasn’t the best person to be around. I was just low.

‘I felt like I was failing, really failing at being a mum.’

Wiping the tears from her face, she continued: ‘I didn’t want that. Nothing in me wanted to feel the way I was feeling.

‘You try and you try and each day you wake up and you think hopefully  I’ll feel better today, and you know, you don’t. And then you’re like “Why, what’s wrong with me?”‘

Georgia said: ‘I had post natal depression and despite trying to mask it, those closest to me knew I wasn’t coping. Danny definitely noticed I wasn’t myself.

‘What he found hard was that he couldn’t fix it, he didn’t know how to solve the problem.’

So the model decided to reach out for help, had therapy and said that it was ‘the best thing I’ve ever done.’

Georgia spoke to some professionals about the matter, including clinical psychologist Dr Caroline Boyd about the signs and symptoms.

She also spoke to other mothers who have suffered with the same as her.

Opening up to the group, Georgia said: ‘I always say I felt like I lost my sparkle

‘You know when you look back at photos from back then, I always look at myself and I think – this is going to make me upset – I think she wasn’t there.’

It is Georgia’s first appearance on television since husband Danny, 38, was seen kissing his former I’m A Celeb co-star and Love Island favourite Maura, 34, at the annual showbiz bash in February.

It comes a day after Georgia posted her first picture of Danny as part of a Father’s Day tribute on Instagram on Sunday – following his drunken kiss with Maura.

The couple weathered a rough patch following Danny’s drunken snog with Love Island star Maura at the BRITs afterparty in February.

The podcaster, 38, who has kept quiet throughout the scandal, posted a picture of her father and one of Danny to celebrate the special day.

Georgia, who shares son Cooper, seven, with Danny captioned the post: ‘For the Dads Happy Father’s Day’.

It has been over two months since Danny and Georgia have been pictured together in public after they seemingly put on a ‘united front’ and decided to remain in their 10-year relationship.

At the end of May Georgia gave an insight into her ‘life lately’ with an update – but failed to mention the McFly star.

She shared a series of recent photos with Cooper and her friends – with Danny missing.

She captioned the post: ‘Life lately… Friends, family, filming, fresh air and fun… lots of lovely fun.’

Danny and Georgia’s marriage was rocked after the I’m A Celeb winner shared a drunken kiss with campmate Maura at a Universal Records party and further reports claimed the pair had continued their night until 6am, sharing wine together at Nobu Hotel bar.

Danny, who apologised to his wife and family for ‘putting them in this situation’, has stayed living at the couple’s West London home, where Georgia moved to on her own as he appeared on the ITV jungle series in December.

Sources told MailOnline that despite their efforts, Danny and Georgia are like ‘passing ships’ and friends fear their relationship is hanging on by a thread.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Danny and Georgia have been trying to navigate a very difficult time in their marriage and for the best part they have been taking each day as it comes.

‘They may be living under the same roof, but they barely see each other and right now are like passing ships.

‘Danny is preparing for his summer gigs with McFly, and Georgia has been attending influencer events and collaborating with brands, all while looking after son, Cooper, who regularly features on her Instagram profile.

‘But when they’re not working, Danny is out on his motorbike or exercising in the gym, and Georgia is either on her own or spending time with family and girlfriends.

‘They haven’t actually been publicly seen together for six weeks and behind the scenes, their relationship is anything but normal.’

Georgia, who’s a former Miss England, temporarily moved out of the family home in the wake of the kissing scandal.

But after deciding to give their marriage a second chance, she returned to the property as sources claimed Danny was willing to do ‘anything to make it work.’
