The Traitors’ Charlotte Chilton reveals Conor Maynard is the father of her ‘miracle’ unborn baby as says ‘she won’t be silenced’ after keeping his identity secret amid split from wife

The Traitors star Charlotte Chilton has revealed that Conor Maynard is the father of her unborn baby.

In April, Charlotte announced she is pregnant with a “miracle baby” after seven heartbreaking miscarriages, but she did not reveal who the father was.

But in a turn of events, the reality star, 32, has decided to make Conor’s identity public, telling fans she ‘will not be silenced’.

The pair went on a night out together in January to celebrate Harry Clarke winning The Traitors in a nail-biting final. Conor, 31, was invited to the party while Harry, 23, is dating the singer’s sister Anna.

Charlotte said on Instagram: ‘I’ve really been toying with whether this is the right thing to do or not. I have hidden a lot of things during this process to protect someone else.

”I decided it was best to always be open and honest. Basically I didn’t mention the father for his protection.

“I’m prepared to do this on my own, but I’m not prepared for my daughter to grow up not being able to tell who her father is, or should I say biological father, or having to hide it from her.

Revealing Conor’s identity, Charlotte said: ‘I’ve really been toying with whether this is the right thing to do or not. I have hidden a lot of things in someone else’s protection’

‘She deserves to know where she comes from. I’m not a secret, she’s not a dirty secret. I will not be silenced.’

MailOnline has contacted Conor’s representatives for comment.

The BBC star, 32, who starred in the second series of the hit show, shared a gallery of sweet snaps in which she revealed the happy news by showing off her bump.

Charlotte revealed for her that ‘IVF failed’ and was previously told by doctors she would ‘probably’ never become a mother in an Instagram post on Wednesday.

Charlotte proved doctors wrong and wrote: ‘So I’ve been keeping a secret in some of my photos!! The true glory is in my last photo!!!

‘After seven miscarriages in my 20s, a failed insemination and a failed IVF, I was told this probably won’t happen to you.

‘For many women, these words are the words you never want to hear!

“Yet someone decided I deserved a wish that was answered, and now I’m going to experience my own little miracle.”

Charlotte added: ‘It’s been a tough start (never knew illness could be so bad) but I’m starting to feel normal again!!

“I wanted to share this with all my family, friends and #thetraitors fans!! It was a shock to say the least, but the most welcome surprise ever!!!’

In a mirror selfie, Charlotte beamed as she cradled her growing bump while wearing a figure-hugging black and white striped dress.

In a second photo, the star looked radiant as she wore a black unitard, before sharing a photo of her ultrasound.

Charlotte’s co-stars were quick to respond to the comments to congratulate the star on her exciting news.

Brian Davidson, who appeared in series two of The Traitors with Charlotte, wrote: ‘Yaaaaaas! Traitors baby!’

Co-star Ash Bibi added, “Your Traitors fam is here for you my darling .”

And series one contestant Kieran Tompsett wrote: ‘ Awesome congratulations darling xx.’

During her time on The Traitors last year, Charlotte, who was working as a recruitment manager in the education sector when she signed up for the show, was a stalwart.

However, the expectant mother later admitted that she “sold her mother out” to be one of the traitors.

Charlotte got the boot after she was wrongly accused of being a snitch by her co-stars.

She told BBC CWR at the time: ‘I really wanted to be a traitor. I wanted it and I said a few times that I would have sold my mother for it.’

Charlotte added: “Don’t tell my mother.”
