Charlotte Chilton on why she is adamant Conor Maynard is daughter's dad despite DNA test
Traitors star Charlotte Chilton broke down in tears as she recalled the "horrific" messages she received after Conor Maynard posted the results of their paternity test
Charlotte Chilton, star of The Traitors, broke down in tears as she discussed the "horrific" messages she received after Conor Maynard posted about the results of their paternity test online.
Though two tests said the musician was not the father of Charlotte's baby, she also still insists he is the father.
The star claimed Conor was the father of her daughter after she was born in October 2024. Conor denied this and a DNA test was done in March 2025, which confirmed the singer did not father the child. 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.
In the interview, 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."
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.

It is something called chimerism."
In a video from the chat, she then 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 video was part of an interview done with The Sun. Charlotte told the publication that she got "horrific" messages from online trolls after the paternity results were revealed. Tearing up, she added that Conor told fans to "be kind" to her but the hypocrisy hurt her.
"He said to be kind to me but that felt like a kick because I thought, 'You've done it this way to not be kind to me'," she said as she added that it was hard to see people praise him for his words, because she felt that, behind the scenes, it was very different.
Five months after the paternity test came back negative, Charlotte alleged that an "unidentified male was present" when Conor's sample was taken.
She continued to say that the testing location was switched at the last second. She also claimed that her own DNA was never taken, despite this being common practice to improve the accuracy of the test.
In August, Charlotte was said to be seeking a court-ordered test to establish the child's parentage. A source told The Sun that she was "blindsided" when Conor released the paternity test and was "ready to fight" for him to take another one.
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.
Conor took a second paternity test that month. He posted on Instagram that the second one again confirmed that he is not the father of Charlotte's daughter.
Earlier this month, Conor told us that the situation could have been dealt with privately. 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.
"Since this was a pretty intense situation to go through over the last year and a half, it made sense to continue my usual process of putting it into my music."
One lyric in the song is, "You talk too much, please shut up," but he admits that many of the lyrics were made in jest. He told us: "Obviously, a lot of the lyrics of the song are said somewhat in jest, but I think they mainly point to how this entire situation could have been avoided.
"I was always of the opinion that the whole thing could and should have been dealt with quietly and privately, especially since none of it had even been proven before it reached the court of public opinion. It had zero benefit from being so publicly carried out, but obviously, it's too late for that now; what's done is done. So I think that lyric kind of points to the fact that maybe it's sometimes better to deal with things properly before shouting them from the rooftops."
The Mirror understands that Conor only found out that Charlotte had made the claims so publicly when his team were inundated with emails asking for a comment on the allegations.
