Charlotte Chilton reportedly asked Conor Maynard for a second paternity test, as The Traitor’s star claims he’s the father of her child.
Charlotte, 32, has repeatedly claimed the music artist, also 32, was the father of her baby after the pair were introduced at a wrap party for the BBC reality show through their mutual friend Harry Clark, who was dating Conor’s younger sister, Anna.
After Charlotte, 33, gave birth to Penelope last October, Conor finally addressed speculation in March to say a paternity test confirmed he was not her father.
Charlotte then claimed an ‘unidentified male was present’ when the singer’s DNA sample was collected.
A second paternity test has reportedly been carried out since, which proves Conor is not the father of Penelope, The Sun reported.
The TV personality originally kept identity of the baby’s father a secret but ultimately decided she didn’t want it to be a ‘dirty secret’ and pointed the finger at Conor.
A source told the publication: ‘Charlotte is shell-shocked by the news. She has been fighting for the truth to come out for the past 18 months during an already difficult time as a first-time single mum.

‘It’s never been about the fact Conor is in the public eye or has money behind him. Charlotte had no intention of ‘trapping’ him. It’s always been about having Penny’s father’s name on the birth certificate. Her little girl deserves that.
‘She’s reeling from the result and is now considering where she goes from here.’
Metro contacted Charlotte Chilton and Conor Maynard’s representatives for comment.
