Charlotte Chilton has revealed she’s been left in tears over the realisation her daughter looks like Conor Maynard.
The Traitors star, 32, gave birth to her baby girl Penelope in October, saying her ‘heart is full’ after a difficult pregnancy and having suffered seven miscarriages and failed IVF in the past.
She had previously revealed that the father of her child was singer Conor, who is brother to Anna Maynard, the girlfriend of The Traitors season two winner Harry Clark.
Charlotte had initially kept the details about her baby’s father private, before saying she didn’t want her daughter Penelope to be ‘a dirty secret’ and wouldn’t be hiding it from her.
During her pregnancy she also said that Conor would not be raising the baby with her, and was ‘prepared to do this alone’.
She’s now said she hasn’t heard anything from him, but won’t deny Penelope contact from her biological father in the future.

Conor meanwhile has not publicly addressed the news of being a dad, or spoken out about his former relationship with Charlotte, but has continued promoting his music on social media.
‘He knows. I’ve not heard anything,’ Charlotte told OK! magazine.
She went on: ‘There’s been days where I’ve been in tears because I’m sitting here thinking, “I’ve got a daughter that looks f**king identical to you.”
‘She’s got his eyes, his hair, his facial expressions.’

Talking about whether she wants Conor in Penelope’s life, she added: ‘If she wants to walk away from him, that’s fine, but she needs to make that decision for herself when she’s older. I’m not going to deny her contact if he decides he wants to see her.’
Charlotte announced she’d given birth to her ‘miracle’ baby on October 18, after a difficult pregnancy where she had suffered from an ‘exceptionally painful and extremely debilitating’ condition and was hospitalised.
She said: ‘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.’

In an exclusive interview with Metro earlier this year, Charlotte revealed that she’d met Conor at a nightclub on the night of the final episode of The Traitors airing with winner Harry involved in setting them up together.
‘I’m doing this on my own. I don’t need him. I don’t need his money. I would only want him involved if he wanted to be,’ Charlotte told us.
She said that Conor was initially ‘lovely’ about the news that she was expecting when she first told him, however, over time, she felt his tone change and progressive conversations worsened, in Charlotte’s opinion, as Conor expressed that he was not ready to be a dad.
‘‘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,’ Charlotte said.
Metro has approached Conor’s reps for comment.
The Traitors is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
