Charlotte Chilton hits back as Conor Maynard claims she 'slept with another Traitors star'

The Traitors star Charlotte Chilton has hit back after Conor Maynard claimed she slept with a co-star from the show.

Chilton has claimed Maynard is the father of her daughter Penelope following their one-night stand - although two paternity tests have since revealed the singer is not the dad.

The 32-year-old doubled down on her claims last week and claimed the results were negative due to a rare medical condition called chimerism.

In response, Maynard told fans he had been left with “no choice” but to share a private message he had received claiming Maynard had slept with a fellow Traitors star, who the Standard is not identifying.

He claimed the message was from the ex-wife of the Traitors star Chilton reportedly had sex with and suggested her co-star could be Penelope’s real father.

The DM read: “He told me he slept with Charlotte around the same time as yourself / she fell pregnant.”

Maynard, 32, went on: “I feel that the main reason that people are still doubting me in this situation is because of the statement that Charlotte is making in the clip that I'm currently reacting to.

“You know, I don't and have never wanted to expose or air out someone's private matters but surely you guys have to understand that there comes a point where I have to defend myself.”

He reiterated that he is “100 per cent” not the father of Penelope.

Chilton seemed to dismiss Maynard’s claims by sharing a photo on her Instagram Story with the text: “You ever heard a rumour about yourself and actually wanted to hear more.

“Like damn... what did I do next?”

Chilton publicly claimed last year that the R U Crazy singer is the father to her daughter Penelope, who was born in October 2024.

In March this year, he said in a social media post that he had taken a paternity test that confirmed “I am not Penelope’s father”.

In August, a second paternity test has confirmed that Maynard is not the father of the reality star’s child.

Chilton previously revealed they met at Raffles hotel in London for a Traitors after-party organised by winner Harry Clark, whose girlfriend, Anna, is the sister of Maynard.

The TV star has said she had seven miscarriages and numerous failed rounds of fertility treatment before her daughter’s birth.
