The event marks Maura’s return to London after she flew to America immediately after the Danny Jones ‘drunken kiss’ scandal.

The Love Island star, and the McFly singer, 39, were embroiled in controversy at the start of March after footage emerged of them sharing a kiss at Universal’s BRITs bash.

In the wake of the scandal, Maura promptly threw herself into her work, jetting across to Los Angeles for a photoshoot and keeping quiet about the kiss.

Maura also reportedly opted not to join her I’m A Celebrity campmates in wishing Danny Jones a happy birthday in their group chat earlier this month.

The TV presenter has shown her determination to move past the scandal and put it behind her in the past few weeks, having already taken trips to both Paris and the US.

So it was no surprise on Monday she enjoyed a boozy lunch in Soho with Hollywood A-lister Margot, who is a self-confessed Love Island superfan.

Posing for a sunny selfie, Maura told her Instagram followers: ‘When Margot Robbie invites you to lunch… you go.’

The next post saw a beaming Margot pouring shots of her Papa Salt Coastal gin and toasting Maura as the delighted Irish star declared: ‘Got me on shots at 2pm WHAT A WOMAN!!!!’
