Charlotte Chilton gives birth! The Traitors star welcomes her ‘miracle’ baby daughter named Penelope after revealing Conor Maynard is the father

The Traitors star Charlotte Chilton has given birth to a baby girl.

The reality star, 32, took to Instagram on Friday to reveal she’d finally welcomed her daughter Penelope after being induced.

Sharing a snap of her baby girl for the first time, Charlotte captioned her post: ‘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’

Charlotte revealed in June that the father of her unborn baby was singer Conor Maynard – whose sister is dating The Traitors winner Harry Clarke. 

The reality star, 32, took to Instagram to reveal she’d finally welcomed her daughter Penelope after being induced 

She claimed Conor ghosted her after he found out she was pregnant and refused to acknowledge the baby, and soon rumours swirled that there was tension among the cast of The Traitors as Harry ‘refused to take sides’. 

Charlotte revealed in June that pop star Conor was the father of her unborn ‘miracle’ baby, after she suffered seven miscarriages through IVF with her ex-wife.

She also claimed Conor had been trying to ‘silence’ her.  

Appearing on Loose Women in July, Charlotte claimed Conor was ‘ghosting’ her and when asked whether she’s in touch with him, replied: ‘I’m in touch – he’s not.’

Charlotte was then asked whether she wants him in her unborn child’s life. She said: ‘This is a tricky question. I’m always torn with what is best for her. With me and my mental health and the damage he’s done to me, no. 

‘But I’m an adult and I have to put her first. I would like it for her at some point in her life. I don’t think there’s much point at this stage, but it has to be Penelope’s decision.’

She also revealed she has sold her house to move in with her mother as she ‘can’t do it on her own’.   

The expectant mother has also previously slammed Traitors’ show winner and former co-star Harry Clark branding him a ‘fake friend’ following her pregnancy bombshell.

Charlotte claimed Harry, 23, ghosted her after she announced that his pal Conor had fathered her ‘miracle’ baby.

Harry is dating Conor’s younger sister Anna, and the two men have often attended events and been pictured together on social media, with Charlotte claiming the reality TV winner is the one who initially set the pair up. 

Charlotte said how Harry abruptly stopped talking to her following the news before swiftly leaving The Traitors’ Whatsapp group – claiming he’d had everything he needed from his fellow co-stars before dumping them.    

She told The Sun: ‘I was left thinking Harry’s decided that what Conor’s doing is appropriate – lads supporting lads.

‘There’s a part of me that just wants to block it out, because if I don’t, it’s gonna eat me up inside.’

She continued: ‘He never returns a message so you just kind of step away and just think, ‘well, this was obviously a fake friendship, you got what you wanted and now your screen is over’.’

Charlotte claimed that Harry had orchestrated their meet-up and ‘pressured’ her into attending the show’s wrap party because Conor wanted to meet her, eventually spending the whole night ‘pursuing’ her.

The party was thrown in honour of British Army Corporal and ‘Traitor’ Harry who shocked the nation when he snatched the £95,150 prize fund from the Faithfuls in a nailbiting finale.

Charlotte previously revealed to the The Sun that in her opinion Conor was a ‘narcissist and a ‘man-child’ and alleges he ‘pressured her into keeping his identity a secret’.

MailOnline contacted Conor Maynard’s representative for comment.

Two months ago, Charlotte slammed Conor for ‘damaging’ her mental health after revealing she is pregnant with his child

Charlotte announced she was pregnant in April, explaining how IVF had previously ‘failed’ for her and she was previously told by medics she ‘probably’ wouldn’t ever become a mother.

A month later Charlotte revealed she is preparing to become a single mother after splitting from her wife Laura and in June revealed Conor is the father of her unborn baby.

In an Instagram video, Charlotte said: ‘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 added: ‘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 met him after The Traitors wrap party and we started seeing each other and Penelope arrived in my tummy!’

Her estranged wife Laura Chilton, 33, has claimed that they were still together when Charlotte slept with the singer in London . Laura and Charlotte had been together for seven years and endured a failed IVF attempt.

Laura, a telecommunications engineer, said she wanted to speak out after being left hurt by comments Charlotte had made about being in a previous ‘toxic’ relationship.

She said she also wanted to set the record straight about when their relationship ended.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Laura told us: ‘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.’

Pictures show Charlotte was still wearing her wedding ring when she attended the event in London in January.

In a previous interview Charlotte said she and Conor spent the evening ‘pursuing’ her and she was ‘vulnerable’ as she’d just got out of a ‘really toxic relationship’.

She revealed the pair ended up sleeping together and kept in touch over the phone but the relationship fizzled out.

However, after feeling unwell, Charlotte – who believed she was infertile after her IVF struggles – took a pregnancy test on her mother’s advice and discovered she was expecting.

She claimed that Conor was initially ‘lovely’ about the news, yet she later claimed he said he wasn’t ready to be a father.

Responding to the claims, Laura said she ‘had her suspicions’ something had happened between Charlotte and Conor as she had cheated on her previously.

Discussing the event where Conor and Charlotte met Laura said: ‘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.’

Speaking about the baby Laura said: ‘I just think more than anything people need to grow up – stop trying to grab a headline by revealing who the father of her baby is and just take accountability and some responsibility – all jokes aside there is another life coming into this now.

‘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.’

Laura has moved back home with her parents who have been taking care of her as she has struggled with her own mental health as a result.

The couple were together for seven years after meeting online.

‘Do you know what we have had some great times together, we had a really cool wedding – Charlotte has been through a lot. We did go through IVF, we only had one cycle and that was unsuccessful,’ Laura said.

She said it was ‘really difficult’ going through IVF.

‘I think for any couple going through it, whether they are in a same sex relationship or not, it is hard. And being the other party is hard. I don’t think that gets spoken about enough. We went through it during Covid as well which was even harder as I wasn’t able to attend any appointments with her and everything. I very much felt left out of it.’

Charlotte announced she was pregnant in April with a ‘miracle’ baby after having seven heartbreaking miscarriages and later announced in June that Conor was the father  

Charlotte wrote: ‘After 7 miscarriages over my 20s, failed insemination, failed IVF I was told ‘it probably won’t happen for you’. Someone decided I deserved a wish answering’

Charlotte added: ‘It was a rough start (never knew sickness could be so bad) but I’m starting to feel normal again!! It’s been a shock to say the least but the most welcomed surprise ever!!!’

She discovered Charlotte was pregnant after seeing pictures online. Asked about how she felt when she found out she said: ‘I can’t say that I am sad, the main feeling that I have, I just hope that she and him and the family make the right decision for that child and keep it out of the limelight.

‘I have so many good people around me that have helped me through this whole thing. I can’t thank them enough as I might not even be here now but it really does teach to resilience it really does.’

She said all she wanted now was for everyone involved to do the ‘right thing’ by the baby.

‘I just want everyone to step up now. She has always loved the attention, she is such a charismatic person, and fun and very witty but unfortunately she can hurt the people who are closest to her.’

Conor has not commented publicly on the news.
