Danny Jones, the McFly star and recent winner of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!,
has opened up about a surprising moment in his marriage following his return from the jungle.
The musician revealed that his wife, Georgia, took a brief break away from their home after shouldering the responsibilities of moving house alone while he was away filming the show.
A Tough Time for Georgia
While Danny was enduring jungle trials in Australia, his wife Georgia was back in the UK handling a major life change on her own.
The couple, who share a seven-year-old son named Cooper, had planned a house move—
but with Danny away, Georgia was left to organize and execute the entire transition solo.
During an appearance on the Parenting Hell podcast with Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe, Danny admitted that he was in awe of how his wife managed everything without him. He even joked that he was “surprised she was still with him” after everything she had to handle on her own.
But after his return home, it became clear that the stress had taken its toll on Georgia. Danny revealed that she reached a breaking point and needed some time away.
A Much-Needed Break
Danny recalled the moment Georgia expressed her exhaustion, saying: “When I got back, my wife was like, ‘I just think I need to go away to a hut myself for a few days.’” Understanding her need for space, he encouraged her to take the time she needed.
He continued: “I said, ‘Just go and take yourself away. Have a few days.’ She was overwhelmed. It got too much for her. And I could see it. I was like, ‘You need to just go.’”
Georgia’s Honest Confession
Georgia has been open about the challenges she faced while Danny was in the jungle. Speaking on the Mum’s The Word podcast, she admitted feeling completely drained from juggling parenting, moving, and work all at once. She described the moment she realized she needed to step away for a break:
“I was like, do you know what? F** it. I’m going to do it. I need to be on my own. I need silence. I can’t hear— I can’t hear people needing me anymore. I can’t. I can’t do it.”*
She later shared on social media that solo parenting, managing a house move, and handling her career all at once left her feeling burnt out. To recharge, she decided to book a quiet retreat in nature.
A Retreat for Rejuvenation
Georgia spent her break in a peaceful cabin in Shropshire, where she took the opportunity to slow down, enjoy nature, and catch up on reading. She revealed that heading into the New Year, she had felt completely drained, which prompted her to plan the solo getaway while Danny was still in Australia.
She reflected on her decision, saying: “I was going into this New Year burnt out. Everything I didn’t want to feel entering 2025… I felt. So whilst I was still in Australia, I decided I needed to do something for me… a solo trip, one to push me out of my comfort zone but also one to give me the break I craved.”
Danny’s Admiration for His Wife
Despite the challenges they faced, Danny had nothing but praise for Georgia. During his podcast appearance, he called her “amazing” and credited her for making their lives run smoothly even in his absence.
Acknowledging the difficulty of managing everything alone, he said: “Her solo house move was absolute God tier.”
Danny’s experience on I’m A Celebrity was undoubtedly a life-changing moment for him, but it also came with real challenges for his family. His openness about the struggles Georgia faced highlights the reality of balancing fame, family, and major life changes.
As for Georgia, her decision to take time for herself sends a powerful message about the importance of self-care, especially for those who often carry the weight of family responsibilities.
