After a second paternity test revealed that he is not the father of Charlotte Chilton’s daughter, pop star Conor Maynard broke his silence.
The Traitors star Charlotte Chilton requested Conor Maynard to take another DNA test after claiming he is the father to her baby – and the result has left her “shell shocked”. She gave birth to her first child last year, a daughter named Penelope, and said Conor was the dad.
While pregnant, Conor, 32, didn’t address any of the public claims but in March this year he issued a statement revealing the results of a DNA test. Singer Conor set the record straight over his paternity and ‘dead beat dad’ claims, confirming he’s not father of Charlotte’s child.
Charlotte and Conor briefly dated following their encounter at a club on the night of The Traitors ‘ final event. Despite his initial DNA test, Charlotte is said to have requested he took another. It came after it was suggested an unidentified male was present when Conor’s sample was taken.

Following the second paternity test, singer Conor took to Instagram on Friday afternoon to share the following statement: “Today I received the results of a second paternity test, which was requested by Charlotte Chilton regarding her baby girl, Penelope.
This test has once more confirmed that I’m not Penelope’s father, as with the previous test. Penelope’s, Charlotte’s, and my DNA were all taken at a facility that Charlotte had recommended to the Ministry of Justice.
The conclusions are therefore conclusive. I’m so grateful for everyone’s help because this has been difficult for me and my family. I’m pleased to see that this is finally able to be drawn out. I sincerely hope that the results of these tests will inspire everyone to find a way to move on. Conor”.
As the result still stands as Conor is not Penelope’s dad, Charlotte is said to have been left shocked. “Charlotte is shell-shocked by the news,” a source told the Sun. “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.
She desperately wanted Penny to know who her father is, even though it’s been incredibly difficult. Conor’s reputation has never been the subject of his lack of money or public image. Charlotte didn’t intend to “trap” him, she said.
They continued, “Penelope’s birth certificate should always have a father’s name on it.” Charlotte is said to be “relieving” from the outcome and considering what to do next.
In a statement shared with the Mirror, Charlotte’s representatives said: “On behalf of our client Charlotte Chilton, we would like to address the story published in today’s Sun confirming Conor Maynard is not the biological father of her beautiful daughter, Penelope.
“Charlotte has fought an extraordinary battle for truth and justice with heartfelt conviction,” Charlotte’s supporters who have followed her since her appearance on BBC’s The Traitors have been aware.
We will forever be grateful to everyone who has shown us our unwavering love and support for Charlotte over the past year. Special thanks must also be extended to Paul Lunt (Brabners) and Lorna McCammon, Charlotte’s rockstar legal advisors, for their expert advice and counsel. Without you, we could not have accomplished this.
Charlotte will now need to heal, reflect, and process her story fully when she is ready, according to the statement.
Before things sadly ended, Charlotte had been dating ex-wife Laura for seven years before things ended.
Conor and Charlotte’s representatives have been contacted for comment by The Mirror.
