The Traitors star welcomes Conor Maynard's baby after he 'wanted nothing to do with it'

The Traitors star Charlotte Chilton has given birth to her baby girl and revealed that Conor Maynard, who she previously claimed was the father, 'wanted nothing to do with it'

Charlotte Chilton, star of The Traitors, has welcomed her baby with Conor Maynard, despite his previous claims of not being ready for fatherhood. In June, the 33-year-old recruitment manager from Warwickshire revealed that her co-star's sister's brother was the father of her unborn child.

She starred in the popular BBC show alongside winner Harry Clark, who is currently dating Anna Maynard - Conor's younger sister. Conor, a musician known for his Drake covers on YouTube, had a brief relationship with Charlotte after meeting her at a club on the night of The Traitors' final.

Despite previously announcing that Conor was the father of her first child, he reportedly told her he wasn't prepared to be a dad. In a recent social media post, Charlotte announced the arrival of her baby, writing: "Princess Penelope has arrived and we have been enjoying our 'Penelope bubble' so much,I am going to be off the radar for a little longer, whilst I enjoy these magical moments with my precious girl! ! Thank you to all that have checked in to make sure I am ok! ! My heart is full xx."

This follows Charlotte's previous comments about her pregnancy and impending motherhood: "I'm doing this on my own. I don't need him. I don't need his money. I would only want him involved if he wanted to be."

When she first broke the news to Conor, he initially seemed receptive until, according to Charlotte, they began discussing co-parenting, reports the Mirror.

In an emotional admission to Metro, she revealed: "The minute I started talking about co-parenting and being understanding of his work schedule, he obviously was a bit disappointed that I was doing that."

The pictures of the baby scans she sent him came with a message: "Feel free to respond whenever you're ready," signalling her frustration at the situation. Charlotte disclosed: "I'm prepared to do this alone, but I'm not prepared to have my daughter have to grow up and not be able to say who her father is, or should I say, birth father, or hide it from her. She deserves to know where she comes from. I'm not a secret, she's not a dirty secret. I won't be silenced. I am standing up for myself regardless of if it comes back to me. I just can't do this be quiet, and shut up anymore."

When Gloria Hunniford on Loose Women probed about whether she'd want Conor involved in her child's life, she responded: "I'm always torn with what's best for her. For me and my mental health, and the damage that he's done to me, absolutely not. I absolutely wouldn't want that But, I'm an adult and I understand what I've entered into here and if that's how it has to be then I have to suck it up and put her first."
