Charlotte Chilton, the star of The Traitors, requested Conor Maynard’s request to have her baby’s father be a new DNA test following his claim. She was “shell shocked,” she was left, though.

Conor was Conor’s father, and she claimed Penelope was her baby last year.

Conor didn’t address the public claims even though Charlotte was pregnant. He did, however, reveal the results of a March DNA test in a statement.

He confirmed that he is not Charlotte’s child, setting the record straight about his paternity and “dead beat dad” claims. Following their brief fling at a club the night of The Traitors’ final performance, Charlotte and Conor briefly dated.

Singer Conor responded to the second paternity test’s results by saying, “Today I received the results of a second paternity test, which Charlotte Chilton requested 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”.

She states, “I’ve been leaning more toward electronic pop music over the past few albums.” And with this one, I had to genuinely embrace that more along with my DJing and dance music.

I merely wanted to enjoy it and make something I adore. The album is complete, and updates are expected soon. I just love to sing, to perform, and to DJ, and I want to put everything together for this album because I feel like I’m still learning and growing. I’m eager to perform it once more.

Mel insists that due to collaborations with strong female artists, the album will still honor the girl power that the band has made famous. She also declares her desire to continue moving forward, partly because she wants to achieve a new fitness goal.

Mel said, “Exercrcise is so important to me. I’m launching Musical’s Greatest Hits,” a new album by Ben Forster. I want to be as active as possible, dance, perform, and have fun on stage. Although my sister wants us to compete in a physical activity together, I need some time to prepare.

“I’ve been busier than I’ve ever been this summer,” I must admit. It has been nonstop, and we can only hope that it will grow even busier next year. Although I’d like to do it, I also want to be physically prepared.

At the posh Mayfair brasserie Langan’s on Tuesday night, Ben Forster demonstrated that he truly is the voice of the West End by playing some tracks off of his new album Musical Greatest Hits.

Ben belted out shiver-worthy songs from the likes of Wicked and Phantom alongside showbiz pals like Mel C, who looked smitten with her Australian boyfriend Chris Dingwall, and Kimberley Walsh. On November 21, Ben’s new album will be available.

Celebrity model Gigi Hadid shared heartfelt Instagram posts to celebrate her fifth birthday and co-parenting with ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik as she celebrated daughter Khai’s fifth birthday.

Gigi Hadid took to Instagram on Friday to celebrate a milestone for her daughter Khai Malik, who just turned five.

The 30-year-old model, currently in a relationship with actor Bradley Cooper, 50, posted a touching series of images and memories for her 81 million followers.

In a horse stable, she was seen crouching beside Khai in one of the photos. While her daughter looked as though she was a cowgirl wearing pink boots, denim, and tiny brown chaps, Gigi was casually dressed in jeans, camouflage sweatshirts, and a baseball cap.

She added the caption “Happy Birthday to my greatest love & gift” to the picture, which read, “My girl is 5 today.”

Hadid, who shares Khai with her former partner Zayn Malik, 32, also shared a throwback photo from October 2023 where she cradled her daughter on her hip, wearing jeans and a white T-shirt with her hair pulled into a braid. Other clips included pregnancy snapshots and fan-curated pictures of mother and daughter.

Hadid frequently shares photos of Khai, but Malik and Hadid make a point of keeping their daughter’s face a secret.

She explained her strategy to Vogue earlier this year, saying, “I don’t believe it would be completely genuine to post nothing of Khai.” However, I also don’t want to promote anything that would violate her privacy or tranquility.

The Guest in Residence founder also discussed her relationship with social media, describing a shift in how she uses it: “I am grateful for social media, and the ways that it has connected me to the world.

“I wouldn’t have the same career without it,” she said. Comparing Instagram to old-fashioned correspondence, she added, “My Instagram is like snail mail. If you follow me, you have to be patient, life has to load.… It’s different from how socials felt when I was younger. It doesn’t come as naturally to me as it did when Instagram started.”

Hadid also emphasized the value of having a smooth parenting experience with Malik. She explained that Zayn and I have custody plans months in advance.

We support one another and have each other’s backs, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t occasionally change. She described how “love and camaraderie” are the foundation of their current relationship.

Gigi appeared in Gigi’s 2016 music video for Pillow Talk while the couple was together for six years.

The model and Cooper have been dating since their breakup, having met at a children’s birthday party in late 2023.

Since then, their romance has quietly begun to blossom, and Hadid is still juggling her high-profile career with her personal life.

EXCLUSIVE: Ross Kemp has revealed that he never thought he would make a reality TV role after discovering that BBC bosses had wanted him on the first ever Strictly Come Dancing episode.

Strictly Come Dancing returns this weekend, with tonight’s launch show set to reveal which professional dancers the 15 celebrity contestants will be paired with.

The BAFTA winning show has had its fare share of scandal and controversies during its 21 years on air. The BBC dancing competition has changed drastically since it first aired and presented a twee, wholesome vibe back in May 2004.

Ahead of the first series premiering, which was eventually won by newsreader Natasha Kaplinsky and Brendan Cole, BBC bosses was keen to get a national treasure in the form of Ross Kemp on the line-up.

But, unfortunately for the BBC, the EastEnders legend was a little busy in a very unique situation at the time. Chatting exclusively to the Mirror earlier this week, Kemp recalled the strange way he found out Strictly wanted him and if he would ever do reality TV in the future.

Thanks to travelling the world and being put through his paces by professional soldiers for series like Ross Kemp in Afghanistan and Ross Kemp: Extreme World, signing up for Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins would be a walk in the park for the former soap star/ So does he fancy it?

Kemp admits to us, “No, not really,” but we can understand. You never say never when I think about a lot of things. You shouldn’t ever say “no,” in my opinion. But no, because I’m incredibly busy right now.

A 5-part documentary is what I’m producing. I’ve only been exercising for 14 days straight. So I can focus on what I can do without having to compete right now. I’m asked to do a lot of celebrity stuff, and I really enjoy it watching. However, I’m not sure if I want to.

Kemp recalled how one offer from Strictly came to him while the show was still in its early stages: “I was out in Afghanistan filming] and had just returned to Camp Bastion. Mobile phones were once a brick-sized device in those days.

I turned my phone on in anticipation of hearing from my girlfriend. I received the message, “Hey, this is the BBC we’re doing a new dance show and it’s based on ballroom dancing, would you do?” instead of “hey, this is the BBC we’re doing a new dance show, and it’s based on ballroom dancing.” BEEEP .

“This is the BBC, then another one,” “. We’re doing… “So I sent about seven messages, and when I finally reached my girlfriend’s, I just heard “Hi Ross -” before [it cut out].”

Kemp will never rule out appearing on the BBC dancefloor, despite not wanting to wear sequins for the first season of Strictly. The actor and documentary will never completely shut down any opportunity that might come his way.

Nobody in this industry, my business, is able to say no to anything, he says, “because nothing is for certain,” he says.

“And that’s why I’ve invested my entire life in a pension,” he continued. And to be honest, I’m not the type of a ‘celebrity’ or whatever I am. I’m not the type of person to back a campaign with which I don’t actually concur.

Kemp is currently spearheading the most recent Pay Your Pension Some Attention campaign. The TV star urges people to take action right away and follow their retirement plans in three easy steps.

“Many of us care about getting in shape for the future; that’s why we work out more, eat better, and exercise more,” he said. However, you also have to pay that. You could increase your pension and save some serious money with a simple three-step training plan. Do yourself a favor and consider your pension, he advises.

Gavin & Stacey star Joanna Page says she was once groped by a TV host moments after being warned he could be ‘very handsy’.

In her newest autobiography, Lush!, the 48-year-old actress recalled the incident. From Swansea to Stacey and everything in between, this is my story.

Although she avoids naming the man because her legal team warned her to “be careful,” she still goes into great detail in the book, which will be available from September 25.

She claims a female producer warned her that the show’s host might be “very handsy,” saying, “He’s probably going to start touching you, but that’s just him.”

Joanna said she “sat there waiting for him to spring on me” and that she was “quite nervous” about meeting him anyway.

Joanna wasn’t having any of it when the host responded to the producer’s request and “middle of the filming begins to grope me”

She responds, “I hit his hands and said, “What do you think you’re bloody doing?” Keep your hands to yourself, ladies! Jesus, I feel like I’m being mauled by the lions at Bristol Zoo. He sat down.

A female producer telling you this was going to happen was strange, Joanna added, but it’s what you’ve been used to.

In an interview with The Times to promote the new book, Joanna also details the mortifying moment she once farted in front of Johnny Depp.

However, Joanna, the mother-of-four, admitted to once defecating in a plastic bag in a parking lot because she couldn’t leave her two young children in the car at the time to go find a loo.

She states, “I base everything on that moment.” I’m asked, “Is this as bad as sitting in a car and sh**ing in a carrier bag,” if I have a difficult audition or meeting. “

Joanna is best known for playing Stacey on the popular sitcom Gavin And The Stacey, which premiered its final episode last year and won the comedy award at the National Television Awards earlier this month. When it premiered on BBC One on Christmas Day, the episode received a massive 12.3 million viewers overnight.
