It was a battle that had appeared to be over, but Charlotte Chilton has once again revealed she is positive Conor Maynard is the father of her child. The former star of The Traitors is certain the musician fathered her daughter, despite DNA tests appearing to prove otherwise.

Ever since Charlotte’s pregnancy announcement and confessions that she believed Conor to be the dad, the duo have been embroiled in a bitter paternity battle. But how did the pair meet?

Conor, 32, is said to have met the 34-year-old reality TV contestant at a party for the BBC show. He had attended the shindig because his sister’s boyfriend, Harry Clark, had won the series.

Conor and Charlotte are said to have had a one-night stand after meeting at the show’s wrap party. Charlotte insists that Conor gave birth to her child despite this.

However, subsequent DNA tests proved this was not to be the case. After the results, which were made clear in two separate tests, Conor made a snide swipe in Charlotte’s direction.

Conor said it was time to have his say after she claimed he was the father of her child. In a video shared last month, which appeared to promote a new single, as well as poking fun at the controversy.

Conor appears in it while holding a press conference with microphones displaying the words “Not My Sun,” “The Legal Guardian,” and “Traitor Times.” Then, a mock journalist steps up and asks: “Conor, do you still have to say no to women?” while another asks, “Roughly how much did you pay to change your DNA?”

He added the words “My turn on the mic,” along with “PREPARING “Cherry On Top” with the link in my bio.”

Charlotte continues to support her claims despite accusations and DNA tests that he isn’t the father. She wept as she discussed the “horrible” messages she’d received since Conor’s online posts about the results of their paternity test.

And Charlotte just so happens to say, “I have searched and looked everywhere for the answers because I know Conor Maynard is the only person who can be my daughter’s father.”

She continued, “I’ve talked to experts about what might have happened, which is that I could have had twins but had already lost one.”

Then, strange genetics emerge, allowing a twin to have taken a particular DNA to prevent her father from appearing on a paternity test. Chimerism refers to it.

In her ongoing paternity drama with Conor Maynard, former Traitors star Charlotte Chilton has taken to social media to reveal one of the nasty comments she has received from a follower.

Charlotte Chilton has revealed some of the trolling she has had to put up with on social media since insisting that Conor Maynard is the father of her child. The former Traitors star, 34, initially claimed that singer Conor was the father of her daughter after she was born in October 2024, but the Can’t Say No singer denied this and a DNA test confirmed he did not father the child in March.

Another was done in August, which gave the same result. However, in a recent interview, Charlotte has insisted that the results are wrong and that Conor is the father. Charlotte said: “I have researched and researched trying to find the answers because I know for a fact that the only person who can be my daughter’s father is Conor Maynard.

“I’ve talked to experts about the possibility that I could have had twins but had to lose one very early,” I’ve learned.

“Then, strange genetics emerge, which could have caused a twin to have taken a particular DNA sample to ensure that her father is never identified on a paternity test. Chimerism refers to it.

She took a screenshot of one of the nasty messages her followers on social media received on Wednesday, posting it to Instagram. You are a truly horrific person, the message read. Nobody wants a better life than you do. I’m hoping it’s miserable. Charlotte merely wrote, “Lovely,” and then clintonized the sarcastic line with a hands-clapping emoji over the top of the screenshot.

During her initial chat with The Sun, Charlotte broke down in tears over the aftermath and said the way Conor acted was like a “kick”. She said he posted the results before she’d even seen them, and, as such, the “whole world knew” before she did.

The Sun conducted an interview that included the video. After the paternity results were made public, Charlotte claimed to have received “horrific” messages from online trolls. She continued, “Be kind to me, conor, but the hypocrisy hurt her,” she continued.

She continued, “He said be kind to me, but that felt like a kick because I thought, “You’ve done it this way not to me,” adding that it was difficult to see people applaud him for his words because she believed it was very different in the background.

Charlotte claimed that an “unidentified male was present” when Conor’s sample was taken five months after the paternity test returned negative. She continued to claim that the testing location had been changed in the last second. Despite this being a common practice to increase the test’s accuracy, she claimed that her own DNA was never taken.

Charlotte was alleged to be requesting a court-ordered test in August to establish the child’s parentage. She was “blindsided” and “ready to fight” for him to take another paternity test, according to a source who spoke to The Sun.

The source added that Charlotte felt the previous test should be discounted because she felt it wasn’t done under the controlled conditions that they had agreed upon. The Mirror has contacted representatives for Conor and Charlotte for comment.

Earlier this month, Conor explained to us that the situation could have been dealt with in a private manner. While discussing his single Cherry On Top, which documents his views throughout the ordeal, he said: “I’ve pretty much always poured what I’m going through into my music, the good, the bad, and the ugly.”

Despite missing out on their 25th anniversary tour, Westlife have confirmed that Mark Feehily is still “very much a part of the band.” The band made it known earlier this month that Mark would not be performing at the Royal Albert Hall to celebrate their milestone anniversary.

Following Mark’s health issues over the past few years, Mark will be the only one performing at the shows and on their new world tour. The 45-year-old developed sepsis in 2020 before being given a pneumonia diagnosis a year later.

The trio teased upcoming gigs for Westlife while appearing on The One Show. However, JB Gill, the host, brought up Mark’s decision to leave the tour.

Mark is not traveling today and is not going on tour either. Is he still a significant member of the band? he inquired. He responded, “He’s a significant member of the band.” We love Mark to bits, but sadly he’s unable to travel with us.

We’re eager to have him back, they say. We’re going to be doing this tour together, but we’re really looking forward to it.

Kian continued, “He’s on the new music as well.” We’re really looking forward to hearing some songs there, and the vocals are incredible.

Westlife announced earlier this month that Mark would not be performing at the anniversary shows. “Mike will be sadly unable to attend the celebrations. When he is ready and able, we hope he will be able to return to the stage. They continued to express their gratitude and love to you all in a statement.

“The four of us are still in shock that 25 years have passed. You have consistently shown us us that we are still in love and loyal to them wherever we go. We are so blessed to have you all with us, and we look forward to sharing a happy birthday with you! Happy 25th Birthday to all of us! Love, Kian, Mark, Nicky, and Shane X.

Before their first-ever tour of America, Mark announced a temporary break from the band last year as a result of his health issues. He wrote, “Hello and much love to you all! ” at the time on Instagram. Mark is present.

Most of you are aware of my recent health issues.

“It actually started three and a half years ago when I had surgery in August 2020. I was rushed to A&amp, E within a few days of having this surgery because I was in severe pain.

I eventually arrived at the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) where I learned that I had a serious ” Sepsis,” a life-threatening infection that would necessitate immediate emergency surgery to fix in order to solve the problem and basically save my life.

He continued, adding that he later developed an incisional hernia that required additional surgery after being diagnosed with pneumonia a year later.

Claudia Winkleman left Strictly Come Dancing’s spin-off show It Takes Two for Zoe Ball, who is now one of the favorites to take her place.

Former It Takes Two presenter Zoe Ball is the first to declare an interest in taking over the Strictly Come Dancing presenting gig now that Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman have announced that they are stepping down.

The TV and radio host made a point of sharing her interest in re-stocking Tess and Claudia’s sparkly shoes on her podcast. It would be “amazing” for her to return to the series, she told her co-host Jo Whiley. This comes shortly after Zoe, who succeeded Claudia when she left the spin-off Strictly, became one of the bookies’ favorites to get the presenting gig.

“I think everyone would like to do that job,” she said, when Jo asked her if she wanted to do it. “It’s an amazing job, it’s the best Saturday night show. When I’m watching Ellie dancing with Vito or Lewis and Katya and Alex and JoJo…. they’re just so amazing. It still brings so much joy to people’s lives, that show. Whoever takes over will have the best gig in the world.”

The first major name to apply for the position is Zoe. Rylan Clark, who also hosted a series of It Takes Two, and Janette Manrara and Fleur East, the spinoff’s current presenters, are the other favorites to take over.

Zoe hosted It Takes Two in 2011 before taking over the hosting duties from Strictly Come Dancing in 2005. Claudia, who had been helming the series, made the transition to the main show at this time. When Claudia took a leave of absence in 2014, Zooe has also guest-produced Strictly Come Dancing. After ten years there, Zoe left the show in 2021.

If Zoe were to take up the role, it would not just be a return to Strictly for her. It would also be a return to a primetime BBC slot. The presenter stepped down from her Radio 2 Breakfast Show after nearly six years in 2024.

When she first took over from Chris Evans in 2019, she was the first woman to present the show solo and became one of the BBC’s highest paid stars.

Everyone expected her to notice that she had withdrawn, and that she wanted to spend more time with her children and pursue new endeavors. However, in August, she claimed that she occasionally questioned her decision.

Jo added that her ideal presenting duo would be Zoe and Alan Carr, who is currently on The Celebrity Traitors. Alan’s popularity on the show has skyrocketed, and talks are already underway for him to have his own chat show following his Celeb Traitors stint.

Zoe praised Tess and Claudia for their support of the show elsewhere on the podcast. I just want to express my gratitude to the girls. Both of them are fantastic, and I believe that’s going to be a difficult act to follow.

Since 2004, Tess and Claudia have a relationship with Strictly. Many people were shocked when they learned their exit. The pair made the announcement in a joint statement on Instagram, which read, “We have loved working as a duo, and hosting Strictly has been a dream. We had planned to leave together before, but now it seems appropriate to do so.

One ex-boyfriend found it difficult to kip close to his former flame on at least one occasion because Charlotte Church, the star of the TV series Celebrity Traitors, couldn’t get a good night’s sleep while she was staying at the castle.

Welsh songstress Charlotte Church will hope to get a better night’s sleep now her time in the Celebrity Traitors castle is over. Church, 39, was the fourth celeb to be murdered this season as her time on the hit BBC show came to an abrupt end.

The Traitors took out the Cardiff-born star after she had gained a reputation for being outspoken with her theories on who the killers may be. But Church reportedly did some kicking out of her own after telling an ex-boyfriend to sleep elsewhere at V Festival.

Church and her family were allegedly scheduled to spend time in the elite camping area of Virgin Media’s resort. And Gavin Henson, Church’s long-term partner at the time, was supposed to be one of those who played for former Wales.

According to legend, those plans allegedly failed as Henson and some pals were instructed to look elsewhere for lodging. And Henson was left torn as his Saturday plans sank.

The plan was for Gavin and Charlotte to let a few friends stay, according to a source close to the situation, but later on Saturday night she made the decision to move his male friends.

According to some, the incident has to do with the 2009 V Festival, which included Henson and Church. The former couple, who have two children together, reportedly booked a Mongolian tent or yurt to enjoy a little more luxury in Chelmsford at the time of the report that year.

Even though they both didn’t get the same amount of enjoyment as they had hoped, figures from the time estimate that the lodging cost them £600 per night. Egyptian cotton linen and fluffy towels were provided with each tent.

Not to mention squabbling with other celebs at the same table. However, there was definitely something wrong with the glamping experience.

In spite of Henson’s leadership of The Fox pub in the Vale of Glamorgan, Church is still in the public eye after her appearance on Celebrity Traitors.

Before she received the chop, however, the former chart-topper had little chance to make much of an impact. After Alan Carr, Jonathan Ross, and Cat Burns, the Traitor trio, made the decision to quit.

Henson was prevented from sleeping near his then-girlfriend by the V Festival scandal, as well. The grandmother of Church arranged for the rugby player to travel on at least one occasion with the singer.

In the middle of the 2000s, Henson was at his best when Ospreys and Wales were watching him, and Church would stay with her while he was away from the squad. Church Sr’s house was sacred, and under her roof, there wouldn’t be a marriage.
