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 met at the wrap party for the show and are said to have had a one-night stand. It is because of this Charlotte remains adamant that Conor fathered her baby.

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.

In it, Conor is seen on the stand at a press conference surrounded by microphones which read 'Not My Sun', 'The Legal Guardian' and 'Traitor Times’. A mock journalist then stands up and asks him: “Conor, is it true that you still can't say no to women?”, while another stands up and asks: ‘Roughly how much did you pay to change your DNA?”

He captioned the upload: “My turn on the mic”, along with “PRE-SAVE “Cherry On Top” with the link in my bio”.

Despite the jibes and DNA tests saying he isn't the dad, Charlotte is still sticking by her claims. She broke down in tears as she discussed the "horrific" messages she received since Conor's posts about the results of their paternity test online.

And Charlotte recently 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."

She explained: "After speaking to experts I have found out that what might have happened is I could have been carrying twins but lost one very early.

Then strange genetics come into play which means that twin could have taken certain DNA so her father could never show up on a paternity test. It is something called chimerism."
