The Traitors star Charlotte Chilton claims Conor Maynard cruelly told her ‘I’m not ready to be a dad’ when she revealed to him that she was pregnant.

Charlotte, 32, said the singer, 31, told her he did not want to have a child and it would be the same even if they had been together for years. 

She revealed two weeks ago that Conor had fathered her ‘miracle’ baby – which came after seven miscarriages – after the pair met at a wrap party for the BBC series earlier this year.

But when she told him about the happy news she claims he knocked her back saying: ‘I do not want to have a child. That’s why I haven’t got a dog.’  

The recruitment manager made the comments in a scathing interview with The Sun in which she labelled Conor a ‘narcissist’ and a ‘man-child’ and alleges he ‘pressured her into keeping his identity a secret.’

Speaking to The Sun she said: ‘We had a great night together and even sent Harry a selfie of us in bed saying, “Successful match”.’

She continued: ‘We kept in touch, confided in each other and planned to meet up. But after I told him I was pregnant that apparently decent man changed.

‘He turned on me, I felt pressured into keeping his identity as the father a secret. It was so stressful that doctors twice put me on bed rest. I thought I was going to miscarry.’

MailOnline has contacted Conor Maynard’s representative for comment.

Charlotte announced she was pregnant in April with a ‘miracle’ baby after having seven heartbreaking miscarriages.

She explained how IVF had 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, two weeks ago, 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.’

Speaking in a scathing interview, Charlotte branded Conor a ‘man-child’ and a ‘narcissist’ claiming he ‘pressured her into keeping his identity a secret’
She said: ‘He turned on me, I felt pressured into keeping his identity as the father a secret. It was so stressful that doctors twice put me on bed rest. I thought I was going to miscarry’ (pictured in 2021)

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!’

Now 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.

The recruitment manager was introduced to Conor (R) by series winner Harry Clarke, 23, (L) who is dating his sister, Anna

‘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 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.’

It was revealed that Charlotte had split from her wife Laura in May (seen together)

Charlotte revealed ‘IVF had failed’ for her and she was previously told by medics she ‘probably’ wouldn’t ever become a mother

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. 

MailOnline has contacted Charlotte and Conor’s representatives for comment.
