Charlotte Chilton has tearfully spoken about the father of her baby for the first time.
The Traitors UK star is currently expecting her first child, which she announced in April.
In an emotional update, Charlotte, 33, told followers that after careful deliberation, she has decided that it was the right time to open up.
In the Instagram video, she reveals the dad is called Conor, but didn’t state the surname. After posting, Metro.co.uk contacted Charlotte, who claimed the person was singer Conor Maynard.
‘I’ve really toyed with whether this is the right thing to do or not,’ she began.
She continued: ‘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.’
Charlotte claims she was warned by a PR that she could be hated. However, she has decided the baby means more to her. She also said keeping a secret has had a detrimental impact on her mental health.
‘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 said.
‘She deserves to know where she comes from. I’m not a secret, she’s not a dirty secret. I won’t be silenced.’

It’s at this point she says the name Conor for the first time, and claims they first met after a Traitors wrap party. Conor’s sister Anna Maynard is in a relationship with her co-star Harry Clarke.
‘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,’ she said.
‘I feel like I just don’t matter, and I just don’t want that for my daughter so even though this makes me feel sick to do because everyone’s told me not to, in terms of his PR and stuff.
‘My friends and family are behind me. The cast are behind me that I need to put Penelope first. When I say the cast, I mean the majority of the cast. But I’m speaking out, I won’t be silenced anymore and now you all know.’
Metro.co.uk has contacted Conor Maynard’s representatives for comment.
