The Traitors’ Charlotte Chilton shares cryptic new post about Conor Maynard amid paternity row
THE Traitors star Charlotte Chilton has shared a cryptic new post amid a row over her tot’s paternity.
The BBC One show contestant, 32, vowed there will be “a time and a place” to address YouTuber Conor Maynard‘s allegations that he isn’t the father to her little girl.
Charlotte‘s comments came after she returned to social media for the first time after the paternity scandal broke.
Reality favourite Charlotte previously claimed her little girl was born from a fling she had with the social media star and singer after starring in the hit BBC show.
Yet Conor, 32, then claimed to have taken a paternity test in front of Charlotte’s legal representative and said the result came back negative.
In a new message, posted in white text on a black background to her Instagram Stories, The Traitors alum wrote: “A lot of people want me to address the comments regarding Conor.
“There will be a time and a place for this.
“Unfortunately I am not allowed to do this right now … just know I love all the support I have received and I appreciate all the love we continuously have been receiving.”
She rounded off her message with the words: “Love Charlotte and Penelope xxx”
Conor’s public declaration took fans by surprise earlier this year, and he was keen to stress he only wished Charlotte and Penelope the best.
In his public post, he wrote: “I am glad that the speculation can finally be put to an end.
“All I would ask is that people act with kindness in response to this news – there is a child at the heart of all of this and that should not be forgotten.
“I wish Charlotte and her family all the best. Conor.”
BITTER BATTLE
Recruitment manager Charlotte previously threatened legal action against Conor.
Taking to her Instagram Story in November, Charlotte posted a private WhatsApp she sent to the influencer, in which she issued a stark ultimatum over financial support.
She said in the message: “Ok so we clearly are not friends however we have a daughter who is identical to you. I don’t even know if your family care. However I do.
How does The Traitors work and who hosts it?
The Traitors first launched in the UK in 2022, after the Dutch format was acquired by the BBC.
Claudia Winkleman is the show’s host, and has now hosted all three series to date.
How does it work?
It is a reality game show that involves 22 contestants, and some of them are chosen to be The Traitors.
The Traitors sees a group of contestants taking part in “the ultimate game of truth and deception”.
The group of contestants are competing for the chance to walk away with a huge cash prize.
While navigating through a series of challenges, the team are also tasked with figuring out who the Traitors are in the group (usually three contestants).
Each night, the Traitors gather to “eliminate” one of the Faithful, removing them from the competition
Meanwhile, the traitors can be “banished” if they’re successfully outed as a traitor by a faithful.
The winners of the show are either the Traitor who remains undetected or the Faithfuls if they successfully eliminate all the Traitors.
The prize sees the winner could get £120K.
“I am killing myself to pay for what she needs and deserves. So with that I can talk to you face to face or we can do court … take your pick. It’s time to grow up.”
In her caption, she told fans: “I have said it before and I will say it again I’m honest and trying to do what I can to be the best mum … what do we think this ‘man’ will say?”
Charlotte previously had seven agonising miscarriages and failed IVF during her marriage to estranged wife Laura.
Though she was very excited about becoming a mum, the situation with singer Conor left her distraught, and she described him as “a real-life traitor who betrayed me” in an interview with The Sun.
BABY’S ARRIVAL
Back in October, Charlotte gave birth to her little girl.
Charlotte announced Penelope’s arrival on social media, writing: “Princess Penelope has arrived and we have been enjoying our ‘Penelope bubble’ so much.
“I am going to be off the radar for a little longer, whilst I enjoy these magical moments with my precious girl!! Thank you to all that have checked in to make sure I am ok!! my heart is full xx”
She then said she felt pressured into keeping Conor’s identity as the father a secret.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, Charlotte previously said: “We had a great night together and even sent Harry a selfie of us in bed saying, ‘Successful match’.
“We kept in touch, confided in each other and planned to meet up. But after I told him I was pregnant that apparently decent man changed.
“He turned on me, I felt pressured into keeping his identity as the father a secret.”
