DANNY Jones' wife is keen not to be seen as a "pushover" by forgiving him too quickly after his drunken kiss with Maura Higgins.
Insiders said Georgia Horsley, 38, does not want to give out the impression that the McFly star is off the hook yet.
The couple were spotted in public together last week for the first time since The Sun revealed Danny and Maura shared a 3am kiss at a Brit Awards after party on March 3.
They appeared to be having a tense conversation as they walked through a park in South West London.
Danny could be seen wearing his wedding ring, but his wife kept her left hand firmly in her pocket.
Georgia is said to have been left feeling "uneasy" about the photos.
A friend said: "This whole situation has been incredibly embarrassing for Danny and Georgia.
"They are keen to work through things together and move on.
"But Georgia does not want people to think she's a pushover and that all is forgiven already.
"She was concerned that the photos of her and Danny together gave the impression that everything is fine, when that is very much not the case."
I'm A Celeb winner Danny broke his silence with a grovelling apology to his wife on Friday.
The embarrassed star, 39, also said he was "deeply sorry" to the rest of his family.
In a post on Instagram, he wrote: "Hello everyone. Sorry it's taken me a while to post this but I've taken some time out to be with those closest to me.
"I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. I love them so much and we'll continue to deal with this privately."
Mum-of-one Georgia is said to be intentionally avoiding posting on social media or addressing the situation publicly.

A source said: "It's not hard for the public to read between the lines here.
"Georgia hasn't been posting on social media since the news broke and she hasn't come forward with a statement.
"People can make of that what they will."
Georgia's only post on Instagram since Danny and Maura, 34, were snapped kissing at the Universal Music Bash is a photo of her son Cooper, six, with a blue heart emoji.
Friends rallied around the Miss England 2007 winner before she turned off the comments.
Former Made in Chelsea star Binky Felstead wrote: "We got you girl! Adore you."
JLS singer Aston Merrygold's wife Sarah Louise said: "Sending you all my love".
Influencer Chessie King told the model, "we're all rallied round you", while author Anna Whitehouse added: "Love you darling. We've got you."
Danny is set to return to work later this week with McFly's nationwide tour.
Why Danny Jones' apology over Maura kiss is PATHETIC
"SORRY, it's taken me a while to post this", wrote woe is me Danny Jones as he fessed up to his very public kiss with Maura Higgins.
Could the delay be a case of that devilish writer's block? Or maybe he penned his lacklustre statement while trying to dodge the blows his wife Georgia will have been metaphorically raining down on his head?
"I want to deeply apologise," Danny continued, "to my wife and family for putting them in this situation."
It's not getting much better is it? And given Danny is rather decent with a pen and paper – after helping write countless hits for McFly, he definitely could have done a little more soul searching.
How about this, Danny…
"I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for my selfish and thoughtless actions in a room full of people when I should have showed a modicum of self control.
"I embarrassed myself and the people I love the most and I deeply regret what I have done."
A little more believable, no?
His statement goes on to say he and Georgia will "continue to deal with this privately".
I'd hazard a guess that in reality, and when writing this, Danny was actually kicking himself that his brief and fleeting kiss with Maura had not happened "privately" because then he wouldn't have to squeeze out this banal and blasé turd.
All the signs point to his brief drunken clinch with Maura being a moment of madness. A smooch fuelled by alcohol – and sheer stupidity on Danny's part.
But why even put out a statement if you're going to be so wet about it all?
You've already taken a public bullet on your first walk of shame with Georgia – a picture you knew was inevitable unless you never left the house again.
And your face was etched with the humiliation.
Those photographs, in a way, said it all. So if you then choose to write a statement, Danny, at least own it.
Tell the world you've made a massive bloody f**k up and then reiterate how desperate you are to try and make it right.
Make the public realise you're just a human who makes mistakes. Show them how truly sorry you actually are. If you can't do that, why bother at all?
