Although Georgia Horsley gained prominence as a beauty queen after winning the Miss England pageant in 2007, her contributions go beyond that of a beauty queen. She is a prominent social media advocate for hearing loss awareness, body confidence, and personal challenges. Her early life in North Yorkshire, along with her marriage to McFly member Danny Jones, serves as an epitome of self-acceptance and resilience, while also showing the importance of speaking out for societal concerns.
Early Life and Overcoming Hearing Loss

Georgia Horsley was born in 1986 in Malton, North Yorkshire, where she had a peaceful childhood, as every child would want, but an extreme case of meningitis left her essentially deaf in one ear. For years, her partial deafness was not formally recognised as she was able to adapt to different loud environments.
As a child, Georgia had to navigate the world with a level of partial deafness that made things incredibly difficult for her. To have a conversation, she would often turn her body to her left side to better hear with her left ear. No matter what obstacles were thrown in her way, she always remained upbeat. With the desire to change the world, she was an enthusiastic and focused child.
Journey to Becoming Miss England
When the spotlight came, Georgia was a florist and attempted to break into the modelling world. It wasn’t until the Miss England pageant in 2007 that everything changed for her.
Georgia never revealed her hearing loss until after the pageant, as she did not want to be judged or seen as an inspiration solely because of her disability. Instead, she did everything based on her own skills. She competed against hundreds of other girls and showed the judges her confidence and natural beauty along with her intelligence.
For Georgia, winning was an incredibly fulfilling experience. Once she was crowned Miss England, she went on to represent the country at Miss World 2007, held in Sanya, China, and ranked among the top 18 contestants in the Miss World Talent segment.
But there was some controversy around the crown. After clinching the title, Georgia was allegedly advised by some pageant officials to ‘bulk up’ so as to have a more womanly figure for the international competition. To her credit, she refused to comply, which paved the way for her advocacy work surrounding body confidence.

Georgia’s life also caught media attention after she started dating Danny Jones, who is the lead singer and guitarist of McFly. The couple started dating in 2009. They were together for four years, and Danny proposed to Georgia in 2013. They got married on August 2, 2014, in a spectacular ceremony that was held in North Yorkshire.
The wedding was graced by other members of the McFly band, as well as by close family and friends who work in the entertainment industry.
Danny and Georgia had their first son, Cooper Alf Jones, in January 2018. After becoming a mother, Georgia’s life has transformed, and she has been candid about both the happiness and the challenges of motherhood. She often shares snippets from her life on social media, where she has a huge audience.
Who is Danny Jones?
Most prominently known as a lead guitarist and co-vocalist for the British pop-rock band McFly, Danny Jones is an English singer, songwriter, and producing sensation. He was born in Bolton, England, on the 12th of March, 1986.
He gained his fame in the 2000s when McFly made a name for themselves as the youngest idols to have a number-one album on their debut. This unprecedented achievement eclipsed the Beatles’ record.
With band members Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter, and Harry Judd, Danny was able to drive the pop-rock scene in the UK with chart-topping hits such as Five Colours in Her Hair, Obviously, and All About You.
