WHEN edgy boyband McFly burst onto the scene in the early Noughties, they weren’t short on attention from the ladies.
And it seems they still aren’t, over 20 years since their debut single, with vocalist Danny Jones, 39, appearing to share a brief drunken kiss with married I’m A Celebrity campmate Maura Higgins, 34, at the start of the month.

Among the other bandmates are lead vocalist Tom Fletcher, 39, bass guitarist Dougie Poynter, 37, and drummer Harry Judd, 39.
The McFly boys formed in 2003 and released their debut single, 5 Colours in Her Hair, in 2004.
And back in these days, they really were living a life of rock and roll.
The band indulged in wild parties, exotic massages, groupies with mums and daughters, and even steamy nights with Hollywood stars.
In fact, the boys even dished out the gossip in their autobiography, Unsaid Things… Our Story – which included graphic details of their sex lives.
It’s a far cry from their current lives married with kids.
Tom is married to his childhood sweetheart Giovanna and they share three children, Dougie has been in a relationship with actress Yasmeen Scott since 2023 and Harry married former Escala violinist Brittany Johnston in 2012.
Danny and his wife Georgia Horsley reportedly will stay together after their crisis talks about his kiss with Love Island’s Maura.
Pals said the couple, who married in August 2014, were determined to move past the scandal and get on with their lives.
But before the scandals of today, the McFly boys found themselves caught up in a different kind of chaos…
Star studded sex
Harry revealed that he once had a one-night stand with Hollywood icon Lindsay Lohan, 38.
“We drove to the restaurant, but we hadn’t even walked in before Lindsay started reeling off to me all the Hollywood A-listers she’d been with, before explaining that she preferred older men,” he penned.
“As we sat and ate, she told us all these stories – graphic stories about her sex life, enough to put us off our steaks.”
The actress had invited the group out for dinner as they were appearing in her 2005 movie, Just My Luck.

Harry went on: “Lindsay grabbed me by the hand and followed me into a bathroom. Then she shut the door behind us.
“As I turned around, she lunged at me. This was full on and it lasted for quite some time.”
The pair continued their intimate relations when they went back to her hotel room around 4.30am.
However, the romp was ruined by Danny, who drunkenly burst into the room whilst drunk just as they had begun having sex.
Even more sex
Harry said that he and Lindsay carried on getting “frisky” for a while, but they eventually began to sober up and think about how he had to leave at 8am.
It wasn’t just the bandmates who were having sex, either.
They were surrounded by people getting it on at raunchy parties, including one time at a revolving penthouse in New Orleans – the same trip that Harry got lucky with Lindsay.
He recalled about the venue: “Under the staircase was a room, dimly lit with red lights.
Her boobs wobbled as she bore down on me, and I couldn’t help noticing that one of them sported a splendid tattoo, perfectly rendered, of Jon Bon Jovi’s face. Talk about a passion killer
Dougie Poynter
“A bed in the middle, and on the bed a couple having sex, there for everyone to see.
“The kind of party bands should be going to.”
One bandmate experiencing a totally different sex life was frontman Tom, who has been in a relationship with his childhood sweetheart, Giovanna, since the band’s conception.
The pair met at school, got engaged in 2011 and ultimately tied the knot in 2012, and now share three children together – Buzz, 10, Buddy, eight, and Max, six.

Generational fans
One of the band’s most outrageous escapades occurred when a fan’s mother unexpectedly exposed herself to them at a bar in the Noughties.
Danny recalled: “Even from the early days, we considered it a bit uncool to work our way through McFly groupies just because they were there.
“But that didn’t mean we abstained completely. It soon turned out that this girl’s mum was keener to get the party going than her daughter was.
“We hadn’t been talking long when, all of a sudden, she got one of her t**s out in the middle of the bar.

“Her daughter was embarrassed, ‘Mum, stop it!’, but we were loving it, and egged her on for a repeat performance.”
It didn’t just stop there, though, with the mum and daughter duo joining Danny and Dougie at his hotel room.
Dougie said: “The instant the door was shut behind us, the mum stripped down to her black thong, bra and not much else.

Danny took “the blonde” back to his room and told Dougie that he’d need to “entertain her mum”.
Dougie continued: “Danny pegged off with his blonde, leaving me alone with Mummy.
“Cut to 30 seconds later. I’m flat against the door, eyes a bit wild, while McFly’s oldest groupie, now completely topless, is a metre away, with a hungry look in her eyes.
“Her boobs wobbled as she bore down on me, and I couldn’t help noticing that one of them sported a splendid tattoo, perfectly rendered, of Jon Bon Jovi’s face. Talk about a passion killer.”
Happy ending
On one occasion, the McFly boys were left red faced after an organised massage in Indonesia turned out to be a more saucier offering than they’d realise.
That is to say, the masseuses offered them all happy endings.
Three of the members had to politely decline, but they played a trick on the fourth one and said they accepted… so he did too.
The actual McFly man who fell victim to this has never been revealed.
The book said: “He’s single, after all, and it seems only right that one of them should indulge in what is clearly a common Indonesian custom.
“The fourth young man isn’t stupid. He has a pretty good idea of what’s being hinted at.
“He thinks for a moment. Then he picks up the phone by his bed and calls down to reception.
“After all, they’re a band on tour. And someone has to act like a rock star, right…?”
