Has anyone else been following this story?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-15024445/Conor-Maynard-paternity-test-results-revealed-Charlotte-Chilton-demanded-second-test-ongoing-row-daughter-Penelope.html

Brief summary: Charlotte, from S2 of The Traitors UK, claimed she had a ONS with Conor Maynard, resulting in the birth of her daughter. She was quick to drag his name through the mud as being a deadbeat dad for not providing her with support, but two paternity tests later, it has been conclusively revealed that he isn't the father.

What an embarrassing situation for her. Surely as a woman if you're shagging multiple men at a similar time, it's basic sense to at least be sure of who the father is before publicly naming them and making accusations!

Perhaps she hoped it was Conor because he was single at the time, and the other potential father/s weren't?!

That poor girl. She's going to see all this online when she grows up. And all because of her mother's stupidity.

Surely Charlotte owes Conor a grovelling public apology at the very least?

Charlotte Chilton breaks her silence over second paternity test result

Charlotte, 32, announced in June last year that Conor, also 32, was the father of her unborn 'miracle' baby.

Then why even take any paternity tests?

Clearly there was a possibility he was the father, yet he wouldn't step up or take those tests until there was publicity around it.

Because it was the only way to dead the issue he was being publicly harangued about?

He was accused of faking the results of the first paternity test. If he’d have refused any and said ‘it’s impossible for me to be the father for medical reasons‘ there’s no way he wouldn’t have been accused of lying and dodging responsibility.

An it’s good to know slut shaming is alive and well in 2025.

Yes. The slut shaming comment was especially stupid.

i wonder if he can or will sue her for libel, as she’s basically shamed him in public.

I guess if they had a one night stand, technically he could have been the father, but for whatever reason, he knew the chances were very low to non-existent.

I can only remember non-Welsh Charlotte’s well.

Grovelling apology? If he hadn't been there unwrapped he wouldn't have even been a contender surely?

I'm sorry is sufficient

Also STI tests for all because yuk

I haven’t read anywhere that they had unprotected sex?

I think for her to request the test be repeated, she must have genuinely thought - or been so desperate for it to be true that she made herself think - that he was the father.

So, I do some sympathy for her. It's possible she doesn't know who the actual father is, and as she didn't have another person to get tested, that's why she was so hellbent on proving it was this guy.

This doesn't mean I think she's in the right or that she did the right thing. I just think the whole thing is a mess, and I feel for everyone concerned, including the bloke who was labelled a deadbeat when he wasn't actually the father.

There are no winners here, least of all, the child.

Or she just really wanted it to be the rich guy’s baby… $$$

ZippyTheZebra · 23/08/2025 05:59

I’m sick of women trashing men for something they were equally, and in this case fully, responsible for. Not taking any accountability and then issuing some pathetic victim type statement as if it’s not her fault she was shsgging around. Now the actual dad know what she’s really like too.

I remember her on the show and I remember she seemed like trouble, it didn’t surprise me in the least when this story came out. I think she was trying to trap a celebrity with a bit of money.

She owes him a full and public apology for dragging his name though the mud.

Agree with Hellohellooo...the baby is the absolute double of him so who knows what's going on here.

It means she has a 'type'. That is all.

The whole article makes it clear she is a grifter after money. Especially the last paragraph or two.

roshi42 · 23/08/2025 06:35

I have no idea who these people are but I have obviously immediately gone down a rabbit hole reading about them. What a bizarre situation all round! The infertility and then sudden miracle baby, the fact that she was married to a woman at the time, whose baby is it then? And Conor looks about 10 years old! All so weird.

Also, not to derail, but I can’t get over the stairs in this OK baby photo shoot!! What is going on there? Is it AI? They seem to go straight into a wall?? There’s multiple pictures looking the same. She’s apparently in her ‘parents spacious Warwickshire home’. (Pic attached and likely pending MN approval.)

To think she owes him a public apology?
tilypu · 23/08/2025 06:42

Hmmm... I don't know who they are (and I'm not bothered about finding out, I'm guessing from love island or towie or similar - no shade, I just don't watch them), but this smacks of attention seeker seeks attention and gets bucket loads of it.

xSideshowAuntSallyXx · 23/08/2025 06:53

Someone from a quiz show and someone who had a couple of unmemorable hits back in 2019.

We've really scraped the barrel with what we class as celebrity these days.

He's done 2 DNA test, in front of her solicitor,she either accepts this or she carries on with her beliefs and looks like some deranged stalker groupie. Her 5 minutes was up long ago. So was his to be fair.

People who claim that baby looks the "double" of Maynard must be looking through beer goggles or something. She looks nothing like him.

I think Connor Maynard just has a round baby face so he looks like a lot of babies.

northernballer · 23/08/2025 07:16

Is he even that rich? Seems like a lot of effort for a grift on her part.

cheesycheesy · 23/08/2025 07:31

This chancer has had 2 dna tests which prove her baby isn’t his. All babies look like Winston Churchill. She doesn’t look like Conor. Why do people think this?

PudgeJudy · 23/08/2025 07:41

It’s incredibly rare, but there have been cases of chimerism causing babies to not match parental DNA (including mothers not matching their children’s DNA). I believe that different types of samples can reveal different DNA in the same person, so multiple samples should be tested (saliva, blood, thyroid). It happens when one embryo “absorbs” a second embryo (its twin) in the womb. The fact she is so positive he’s the father does make me wonder if this is one of those cases.

Wtafdidido · 23/08/2025 07:47

She has made an absolute fool of herself and lost all credibility. She has the morals of an alley cat. The second paternity test was done u see extremely strict control and supervision and is 100% clear he is not the father. She dragged this poor man and his family through the mud for well over a year and lied about everything. The very very least she owes him is a very public apology. Why did she choose him to accuse she so obviously she was also screwing someone else? Or wa that another one night stand and she has no idea who the person was? Either way she is a liar, a cheat and really does not deserve to be the parent of this beautiful, blameless child.

TottyMaude · 23/08/2025 07:59

Why are all these people just shagging randomers? They're like dogs shagging your leg. Yuk

diddl · 23/08/2025 08:02

I think the baby looks similar to him.

But maybe she looks similar to her father also?

Why would she publicly be so sure it's him?

KTheGrey · 23/08/2025 08:02

hellohellooo · 22/08/2025 21:27

Ok I agree

And yes it is madness

Have you seen how much the baby looks like him

What, strong jaw, good head of curly hair and a light beard?

Weepixie · 23/08/2025 08:04

Bobnobob · 22/08/2025 21:56

But the baby is the absolute spitting image of him… why double order a paternity test if you know he’s probably not the father? I think he’s cheating the system here.

Eh?

What's more likely? That he's somehow found a way to cheat on DNA tests, or that she's attracted to a particular type and the actual father just looks very similar to him?

Apology should be as public as the original accusation, IMO.

I think his parents do. The statement was so hyperbolic and made her looks even more foolish. I do feel sorry for her as she’s obviously struggling with a lot.

Viviennemary · 23/08/2025 08:15

It's a bit shameless not to even know who the father is. Still who are we to judge. I think she should sue him.
