It’s a lot, so here’s a full rundown of Conor Maynard and Charlotte from The Traitors’ wild saga

It’s been a saga that’s been going on for nearly a year now, but this weekend Conor Maynard brought some pretty substantial clarification to end it all – he’s announced he is not the father of The Traitors season two contestant Charlotte Chilton’s baby. Nine months ago, Charlotte Chilton – who was married to her former wife Laura when she was on the show – announced that she was pregnant and the father was Conor Maynard. Now that Conor Maynard has posted his big statement about Charlotte Chilton from The Traitors and the entire debacle, here’s a rundown of the full timeline regarding the two of them.

Charlotte announces she is pregnant and names Maynard as the father

Charlotte Chilton opened up about how she was pregnant and claimed the child’s father is singer Conor Maynard (yeah, that one) – who she met at the wrap party for series two of The Traitors. Charlotte claimed Conor Maynard had since blocked her, and told her that he “doesn’t want anything to do with it”.

Charlotte explained on socials “I’ve really toyed with whether this is the right thing to do or not. I’ve sort of hidden a lot of things in the protection of somebody else through this process.

“I decided that the best thing is to always be open and honest. Essentially I have not named the father in protection of him. 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.” She added: “I met him after The Traitors wrap party and we started seeing each other and Penelope arrived in my tummy!”

Conor Maynard’s sister is in a relationship with Harry Clark – who won season two of The Traitors.

Charlotte’s ex wife spoke out

Laura Chilton spoke out when Charlotte posted about it all on socials.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Laura Chilton spoke candidly about the news Charlotte is claiming Conor Maynard is the father of her child. “Charlotte has stated in interviews that she was single and had been single since the filming of Traitors which wasn’t the case at all. We were still in a relationship when she was filming the show.

“She went down to the London for this wrap party – I read she had been forced to go down – she wasn’t forced to go at all. She was seizing that opportunity. I had a feeling something had gone on because she decided she would stay an extra day – which was obviously the night she got with this Conor Maynard which I had caught wind of as she mentioned to me he had a crush on her and she wasn’t interested – we were still together.

“But she is making out to everyone that we weren’t together at the time – I want to make it clear that we were. I spoke to Charlotte last night and just said stop it, stop feeding this media attention but it is becoming clear it is what she wants.”

Conor Maynard wrote on social media on Friday “Earlier this week, I took a paternity test regarding Charlotte Chilton’s baby girl, Penelope, in the presence of her legal representative. Today I’ve received the test results which confirm that I am not Penelope’s father.

“I am glad that the speculation can finally be put to an end. All I would ask is that people act with kindness in response to this news – there is a child at the heart of all of this and that should not be forgotten. I wish Charlotte and her family all the best.”

Has Charlotte responded to it all?

As of publication, Charlotte hasn’t responded – but she has limited her comments on Instagram.
