Charlotte Chilton broke down in tears as she opened up about her explosive paternity row and the impact it’s had on her mental health
TRAITORS star Charlotte Chilton says she will prove that YouTube star Conor Maynard is the father of her daughter despite TWO paternity tests saying he isn’t.
In a major real-life plot twist worthy of the hit BBC show we can reveal that Charlotte now believes the DNA tests are not showing he is Penny’s father because of a rare medical condition – and her claims have been backed by research.

Charlotte, 34, has always maintained that her “miracle” little girl could only have been conceived during a one-night stand with Conor, 32, because she hadn’t slept with anybody else.
In an exclusive interview Charlotte says: “I have researched and researched trying to find the answers because I know for a fact that the only person who can be my daughter’s father is Conor Maynard.
“And finally, after speaking to experts I have found out that what might have happened is I could have been carrying twins but lost one very early.
“Then strange genetics come into play which means that twin could have taken certain DNA so her father could never show up on a paternity test. It is something called chimerism.
“When I got told this it made some sense to me because we have twins in the family. My mum is an identical twin and my gran got pregnant with twins and lost them.
“That’s why I keep thinking, was Penny a twin or something, because twins can make a difference to the paternity result and there are generations and generations of my family with twins.”
Unsurprisingly many struggle to believe her insistence that the medical tests – which are usually more than 99.9 per cent certain – could be incorrect on two separate occasions.
But Charlotte refuses to back down and insists no other man was involved in her life at the time.

“I hope that when she’s old enough to understand that, she can see that I am a strong woman that will not be intimidated by anybody. Even if the world goes against you, even if it seems like you’re the only voice in the room, I’m not rolling over and being bullied.
“This isn’t over and I’m going to be doing my detective work. Everything in the dark will come to light.”
