The Traitors star Jonny Holloway has spoken in length on the Charlotte Chilton paternity twist and has revealed that he has asked for a DNA test to establish whether he is the father of her daughter

Charlotte Chilton’s Traitors co-star Jonny Holloway has spoken in length about claims he is the father of her daughter Penelope. Charlotte has spoken out multiple times about Conor Maynard being the dad, which he has denied.

A second name was then thrown into the mix following Conor’s constant denials and two paternity tests confirming he isn’t the father. It has now been revealed that her co-star Jonny Holloway also claimed he slept with her around a similar time.

However, Charlotte has denied sleeping with Jonny. He claimed that he has asked for a DNA test – but she has since changed her mind, according to Jonny, and won’t discuss the paternity with him.

“If I was the father I would step up and take that child as my own. Relations took place on a drunken night out. I was heavily intoxicated at the time. I’ve asked for a DNA test several times but have been ignored,” he told the Daily Mail.

“I’m a man of values and standards, I come from a military background. I pride myself on having respect and being a good dad to my children.” Jonny also said he contacted Charlotte and asked for a DNA test.

He added: “I said to Charlotte, ‘Look we both know what happened here. Should we do a DNA test because of what has happened?’ Originally she said yes. When it came to me setting it up, I haven’t heard back from her since. I don’t know what is going on.

The Mirror have contacted Charlotte’s representatives for comment.

Almost two years ago, Charlotte gave birth to her daughter Penelope. She claimed Conor was the father, while he insisted he wasn’t. This led to a lengthy battle in which Conor took a DNA test that said he was not the father, and then, at Charlotte’s insistence, took another with the same result.

In a recent interview when she broke down in tears, Charlotte said: “I know for a fact that the only person who can be my daughter’s father is Conor Maynard.”

Conor then appeared to mock Charlotte’s interview, by posting a video in which he said: “Here’s an invisible tissue for your invisible tears.” He captioned the video with: “My response to the most recent news…” He then played a new song, in which he tells the subject of the song to “please shut up”.

Later, he took to social media again to claim that another Traitors star was a possible father of Penelope, which she has said is impossible as they didn’t sleep together.

Charlotte has said that she “categorically knows” that Conor is the “only person” her daughter could have come from.

EXCLUSIVE: Strictly Come Dancing star La Voix has opened up about her time on the show and the nerves she feels ahead of the Blackpool special, as well as a potential presenting role

As one of Britain’s most recognisable drag performers, known for her powerhouse vocals, glittering gowns, comedic timing, and uncanny impersonations of icons like Liza Minnelli and Shirley Bassey, La Voix – the stage persona of Chris Dennis – has spent years commanding cabaret stages, selling out theatres, and appearing in television and film.

Yet stepping into the glittering ballroom of Strictly Come Dancing has been a new challenge.

The idea of stepping into the presenting shoes of Tess Daly or Claudia Winkleman excites her, after viewers have enjoyed all her hilarious quips and one-liners over the weeks and she says: “Strictly is the golden show of the BBC and I think anyone who’s in the presenting world is going to want to do that show. Of course, if the opportunity arose and I was asked to do it, I’m not going to say, no, am I? That would be the opportunity of a lifetime.”

“And I was very focused on making it very clear that I wanted that a few weeks ago. But now I think I need to buckle down and get the dancing learned – otherwise, I might be out quicker than I get the interview.”

La Voix is also conscious of the significance of having a drag act on mainstream television. Reflecting on this, she shares: “There’s a lot of people who grew up with Lily Savage, Dame Edna Everage and also people like Mrs Merton, with Mrs Brown’s Boys on the television, it’s very popular family fun entertainment. Sometimes people see it as a risk, but it’s been done in the past and it was a golden age of television and it’d be wonderful to see that come back.”

Her journey has not been without moments of tension. After last week’s dance-off, she admits: “I thought, ‘Well, this is it. I’m going home.’ And I stood on that dance floor just before we did our final dance, and I looked at all the lights and the Strictly logos and the judges and I thought, ‘This is the last time I’m going to see all of this’. To be saved by the judges genuinely shocked me to the core.”

Looking ahead to Blackpool, she hopes to combine her comedic flair with technical skill: “I think if I do get to Blackpool, I want to really hone in on my strength, which is the comedy, the bravado, the big, larger than life bubbly character.”

“If I go home now, I’ve got further than I ever thought I would. I’d be massively disappointed, but I’d be very proud of my journey. But I’d love to make the quarters, semi, or grand final. And I think it’s so close, I’m driven to see if I could actually get there.”

And this week’s performance – a huge musical number set to Don’t Rain on My Parade – is particularly personal to her, which she expresses with warmth as she shares: “When I was a kid, my Dad used to love Barbra Streisand and all these big icons. And that’s where my love of music and singing came from. For this, we’re channeling that song as my sort of childhood passion.”

When La Voix decided to make the move out of RuPaul’s Drag Race and into Strictly Come Dancing, she thought she’d be gone by some point in October.

But now, as she prepares to perform her Couples’ Choice with partner Aljaz Skorjanec in week eight, she has her eyes firmly set on the Blackpool special.

She admits: “I was thinking maybe week two or three, four or five maybe, if I’m really lucky. To still be in on week eight and looking at Blackpool is mind-blowing for me, and so exciting. I just can’t thank people who voted enough. I’m having the time of my life and I’m finding it all very healing strangely, from having had a lack of self-belief.”

Justin Bieber has revealed that he is in ‘agony’ after suffering a gruesome injury that is ‘f*****g with him’ every time he tries to sing, just days after attending the GQ after-party bash in Los Angeles

Justin Bieber has revealed that he’s been left in excruciating pain every time he tries to sing after suffering a nasty injury this week. The 31 year old singer shared on his Twitch livestream with friends that he had taken a tumble off a one-wheel and injured his hip.

A one-wheel is essentially a self-balancing electric skateboard with a single motorised wheel, where riders stand on footpads either side of the wheel and control it by leaning forward to speed up and backwards to slow down. In a video clip posted on Instagram, the pop star told his mates: “My rib hurts so f*****g bad, bro, you saw it happen, right? That s**t bro is hurting me bad, bro, I’m trying to play it cool, bro, this s**t is f*****g with me.”

He then faced the camera, adding: “Chad I f*****g fell on my side on that one-wheel and landed on my (hip), so even singing, laughing, everything hurts. This comes after Justin and his wife, Hailey Bieber, 28, were spotted at the star-studded GQ afterparty in Los Angeles on Thursday.”

The American model turned heads in a stunning sequined Gucci gown as she stepped out of her chauffeur-driven car alongside pop sensation Justin for their appearance at the Bird Street Club event. Meanwhile, Justin chose a more laid-back look, donning a white tank top and black denim jeans with a brown belt.

The celebrity guests at the GQ event adhered to a dress code which was 90s Hollywood Red Carpet. Alongside Hailey, the party was also co-hosted by Sydney Sweeney, Stephen Colbert, Seth Rogen, SZA, Oscar Isaac, Clipse and GQ’s Global Editorial Director Will Welch. The Rhode founder recently appeared on the cover of GQ for the magazine’s Men of the Year 30th-anniversary issue.

During her chat with the magazine, the model opened up about motherhood and her marriage to the Peaches singer. Regarding their relationship being in the public eye, Hailey said she was ‘comfortable’ with how they are handling their public romance.

“We’re just taking it a day at a time,” she shared. “We both feel very protective of our son, and I don’t think that’s ever going to change, but our life is our life and it is really public, so I think we’re just going to cross every bridge that we need to when we get there.”

Hailey and Justin welcomed their son Jack Blues in August 2024. She added, “But as of right now, I feel really comfortable about the way we are sharing things and not sharing things.”

Elsewhere in the interview, the star also talked about motherhood while hinting at possibly having a second child with husband Justin. “I don’t think there’s anything someone can tell you about it that will ever, ever, ever prepare you until you do it yourself,” Hailey expressed.

However, after welcoming her first child last year, the model said: “But I feel much more prepared to do it again, as opposed to how not prepared I felt doing it for the first time. And I think for me personally, there’s so much unknown to it, but so much happens, so much changes and you evolve in a totally different way that you would never be able to prepare for until you do it,” she shared.

In October, Hailey opened up about her desire to expand her family with Justin during an appearance on the In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele podcast.

“I know I want more than one,” the star revealed. “I always knew I wanted to be a mum, though. Since I was a little kid, I always envisioned myself having kids. You know what’s funny? The older I’ve gotten and now that I have a child, I think any decision anyone makes about having them or not having them is totally amazing.”

Paddy McGuinness was left fuming as he revealed he’d been snubbed by BBC Radio 2 listeners, who had sent in messages of support for Sara Cox’s Great Northern Marathon Challenge

Paddy McGuinness branded one issue a “disgrace” after revealing live on air that he’d been overlooked whilst standing in for Vernon Kay’s morning programme on BBC Radio 2, as the regular host attended his wife Tess Daly’s MBE ceremony. During a recent broadcast (November 12), the Phoenix Nights comedian shared messages of encouragement from listeners, who’d contacted the show to send their best wishes to fellow radio presenter Sara Cox.

Sara is currently tackling the 135-mile Great Northern Marathon Challenge, a journey across four counties over five days that is due to conclude today (Friday, November 14) in Pudsey, Leeds, to raise money for Children in Need.

However, Paddy, who conquered his own Children in Need challenge last year, was left distinctly unimpressed that most messages submitted by listeners had been directed to Vernon, despite his absence from the studio that day.

Paddy shared a supportive message from a listener called Janette, who, after greeting the Take Me Out presenter with a “morning, Paddy”, disclosed she’d contributed £20 to back Sara’s challenge.

He commented: “Oh, thank you so much for that, Janette, and also, Janette, thanks for acknowledging me cos I’ve been getting messages for Vernon all morning. It’s a disgrace, this.”

Before her epic journey, Sara, who presents Radio 2’s Teatime Show throughout the week, shared the guidance that she’d been given by Paddy and Vernon, who also previously tackled a Children in Need challenge in 2023.

Speaking to the MEN, she said: “Vernon, whenever I see him, just goes, ‘Go on and run up a hill!’. And I’m like, ‘Okay, Vernon, thanks, but I’m just about to go on air.’

“But that’s part of the training as well, it’s just going looking like a mad woman in my local park and just legging it up a hill and then back down again, just confusing all three dogs off the lead like, ‘What the hell’s she doing?’

“So Vernon, that is true, you do need to do some hill work, so I have been doing that anyway. And. Paddy’s been really good with the other side of it, just saying to block out all the noise, you know.”

Meanwhile, Paddy will front Children in Need this evening alongside Mel Giedroyc, Rochelle Humes, Lenny Rush, Big Zuu and Vernon.

He spoke to the BBC about how the occasion unites everyone with “one common goal”.

He said: “Being a dad makes me very aware of how precious children are. Childhood should be a time of innocence and fun. If there’s any way I can help to give them that, then I will.”

Paddy, who generated a staggering £10.5million for the charity last year through his endeavours, explained that the shared objective is “making a child’s life better”.

Adam Peaty was seen getting into a car with his wife-to-be Holly Ramsay, the daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, amid the speculation and drama surrounding their Christmas wedding

Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay have been seen for the first time together since Adam allegedly banned his mum from his Christmas wedding to Holly with just weeks to go.

It’s thought trouble between the couple and Caroline started when she was not invited to Holly’s Hen do which featured Victoria Beckham amongst the guests as well as Holly’s mum Tana.

The pair, who have faced a wave of public scrutiny following reports of tension and pressure behind the scenes, appeared to be keeping things low-key as they stepped out near a quiet London neighbourhood. While Adam kept his head down and moved briskly, Holly cut a noticeably more reflective figure. Adam drove out of The Ramsey house with Holly jumping in the front in later images.

Holly had her straight dark hair, worn down, and she’s glancing back over her shoulder with a neutral, slightly serious expression. She held a black handbag and wearing black leggings with white socks and trainers.

The outing marks the first time the couple have been seen publicly since the recent drama surrounding them. While neither Adam nor Holly has commented on the situation, the sighting suggests the pair are still spending time together despite the pressure around them.

The pictures come after it emerged Adam was met by police officers after landing at Manchester Airport from his stag do, after reported concerns of ‘threats’ made to the Olympian.

Adam, who will be marrying Holly Ramsay in December, was met by two uniformed officers from the neighbourhood team on Sunday (9 November) , who spoke with him following the report of a public order crime, the Mirror can confirm.

Police officers obtained details from Adam, 30, before the swimmer left the airport via a taxi.

A friend told The Sun: “The issues that have been reported don’t stem from hen do or wedding invitations; it goes so much deeper. Things escalated over the weekend when someone became increasingly abusive and threatening over text.

“Adam was trying to enjoy his stag do and was getting freaked out by it all. He then received a threat that he’d be met off the plane. He told Holly who called the cops after consulting with her family.”

The source added that the police were confident no one had turned up to the airport but that Holly was still right to alert them.

Adam is currently embroiled in a family feud that has seen many family members either uninvited from or unable to attend his wedding, which will be held at Bath Abbey over Christmas .

After Caroline Peaty was not invited to the bride’s hen do, Caroline’s sister, Louise Williams, took to social media to call the decision to keep her off the guest list “divisive and hurtful”. Her message was reported to have upset Adam and Holly, who then “banned” his mother from the wedding.

It has been reported that the only family member still attending the wedding will be Bethany Peaty – Adam’s sister. They have two brothers who are not thought to be attending. One concern for some family members is the cost. One relative told the Daily Mail: “We were sent a ‘save the date,’ and it’s all these country houses. I’m on Universal Credit — I can’t afford that.”

The latest series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is due to hit our screens this weekend with celebs like Jack Osbourne, Martin Kemp and Ruby Wax set to take part

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! bosses have been left stumped after Christine McGuinness repeatedly claimed she would be appearing on the show, when she isn’t part of this year’s line-up.

Just weeks ago the mum-of-three hinted that she would be going into the jungle but she hasn’t been announced to be in the show by ITV. It has been said that ITV bosses are “angry” and “confused” after the star suggested she could be taking on the challenge.

The 37-year-old seems to say she would be on I’m A Celeb when she appeared on the Pride of Britain Awards red carpet back in October. Christine said she is usually asked “every year” but the thoughts of leaving her children has always been overwhelming.

But she said this year could be different as she said she thought “F*** it, why not” which many took as thought they could expect to see her on their screens.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Christine said: “I always get asked and it is one of those shows, every year, would you ever do it?

“And I always say there’s no way, I don’t think I could be away from my children, and I would be scared of the creepy crawlies, I have sensory issues and I have never been outside of Europe so just flying over there would be quite a challenge.

“Trying to get over to the jungle might be a bit of a mission but yeah, let’s see. I think this year most likely I’d be like f*** it, why not.”

The full contestant list was released this week and Christine’s name wasn’t on it. It’s thought bosses aren’t too pleased with Christine’s claims and instead think she should have shut the rumours down.

A source said: “ITV bosses were definitely confused when they saw the reports suggesting Christine had ‘signed up’ for I’m A Celeb.

“Usually, a celebrity would shut down speculation, so Christine appearing to confirm her appearance really infuriated those working behind the scenes.”

Christine shares three children, twins Penelope and Leo, and daughter Felicity, with ex-husband Paddy McGuinness. The pair still live together and co-parents their three children.

The parents have highlighted their children’s autism in recent years and Christine has also spoken about being diagnosed with autism and ADHS herself.

Christine has recently said that she had to consider whether she wanted to remain in the spotlight or not in order to protect her kids.

Speaking to The Mirror, she said: “I’ve had to think if I am in the right industry, and if I can continue. It may be what I enjoy and love, but when i think about my children and how the attention is going to affect their lives I have questioned it and if it’s right for me.”
