Charlotte Chilton has shared a heartbreaking post about her daughter amid questions over her paternity.
The Traitors star, 33, has claimed social media star Conor Maynard is the father of her daughter Penelope, who was born in October.
However earlier this month Conor, 32, shared a statement saying he’d undertaken a paternity test which ‘confirms I am not the father’. ‘I am glad that the speculation can finally be put to an end,’ he added.
A few weeks on, Charlotte has shared an emotional post regarding her baby girl.
Before getting pregnant with Penelope, Charlotte had undergone IVF with her estranged wife but had suffered seven miscarriages.
Sharing a photograph of her daughter’s teddy bear, she explained: ‘This teddy was the first thing I brought Penelope when she was only 10 weeks in my tummy.

‘I figured if I had to bury her she would have that from me… I never thought I would actually ever get to give this gift to my rainbow baby!
‘So now the fact she loves this Teddy so much it makes me feel so much better about the all losses I had. We are so excited for out bright future!’

Last year Charlotte revealed she feared she would miscarry her daughter after claiming Conor ‘changed’ after she told him she was pregnant following a one-night stand.
‘He turned on me, I felt pressured into keeping his identity as the father a secret,’ she said.

‘It was so stressful that doctors twice put me on bed rest. I thought I was going to miscarry.’
Charlottes said they conceived Penelope after meeting on the night of the finale airing, shortly after her split from ex-wife, Laura.
When announcing the results of the paternity test, Conor asked that ‘people act with kindness in response to this news’.
‘There is a child at the heart of all of this and that should not be forgotten. I wish Charlotte and her family all the best.’
