One of Charlotte Chilton’s co-stars from The Traitors has admitted the pair had slept together. This comes just weeks after the BBC star finally settled her bitter paternity row with Conor Maynard.
The mystery surrounding Traitors alum Charlotte’s child has left people scratching their heads as the drama unfolded between her and former teenage heartthrob Conor. Things had seemingly calmed down when Conor confirmed he had taken a paternity test which proved her child was not his.
But now, in an explosive turn of events, Charlotte is now said to be “going to war” with her co-star after he revealed the pair had gotten steamy, despite her insisting they had never done so. According to Charlotte, she still believes that musician Conor is indeed her child’s dad.
Charlotte Chilton is now facing a new twist in her paternity row
Speaking in an interview with the Daily Mail, ex-Traitors star Jonny Holloway has confirmed that the couple did get into bed together. He added he would be willing to take a paternity test himself to prove whether one-year-old Penelope is actually his.
Jonny’s name officially was added into the mix after Conor had thrown his name into the ring in a now-viral post online. On a post uploaded to his social media, Conor shared a direct message he had been sent by Jonny’s former wife Lauren Ward, accusing him of getting with his co-star.
Sources close to Jonny at the time said that he was horrified to be chucked into the ongoing drama. Insiders added that they saw Conor’s move as a “vicious attack and manipulation by his ex-wife”.

Charlotte opted to quit all forms of social media, deleting her profiles in order to focus on her mental health after Conor made the damning allegations. Writing in a dramatic statement as she left, she fumed: “I will not allow myself or my daughter to be used for anyone’s personal gain.”
In a statement to the Sun, she also insisted that she had never slept with the former military man, saying: “There’s never been anything romantic with Jonny. We’ve had a friendship, but there’s never been a relationship between me and Jonny.
“We weren’t sleeping together in January at all,” she added. “It never happened.”
Jonny Holloway has insisted he would take a DNA test to prove whether he was the father or not
Charlotte and Jonny first met when they both competed in the 2024 series of the Traitors. Jonny, an ex-soldier from Luton, was forced to have his leg amputated when the vehicle he was travelling in was hit by a bomb whilst serving in Afghanistan in 2013.
On top of the physical injuries he sustained from the blast, his time in Afghanistan also left him with brain injuries that have also caused his short-term memory to be impacted. He was also diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after returning home to the UK.
Charlotte maintains that her little bundle of joy Penelope is Conor Maynard’s daughter, despite him having taken two paternity tests which proved otherwise. She insisted the DNA tests are not showing he is Penelope’s dad due to a rare medical condition.
Despite the results saying otherwise, Charlotte says her quest to prove that Conor is Penelope’s father. She added: “I know I will get to the truth eventually – because I know the facts.”
