Conor Maynard's social media posts have been flooded with savage comments after The Traitors star Charlotte Chilton claimed he's the father of her child.
In April, the TV star announced she was pregnant with her "miracle" baby after going through a series of miscarriages. The 32-year-old, who rose to fame on the second series of the BBC gameshow, shared the pregnancy news with her followers on social media but didn't reveal the father's identity.
Fast forward to this week and she decided to publicly reveal the identity of the dad-to-be and insisted she "won't be silenced". She has claimed the father of her child is pop star Conor, 31. After the news emerged, fans rushed to his social media page to leave endless comments about him fathering a child with Charlotte.
His top three posts are swarmed with people slamming him for keeping his supposed child a secret. One user said: "Cringe dad shouldn’t be keeping YOUR DAUGHTER A SECRET," while another commented: "I didn’t think you would be the type of person to ditch the mum and baby."

Charlotte said they met at a Traitors wrap party (Instagram/ @charlchilts)"Shhh you’ll wake the baby," one troll said under a video of him singing Careless Whisper by George Michael. "Shouldn’t you be buying a pram??" another said in his latest post.

Charlotte kept the identity of her baby's father private and a month after sharing her happy news, the TV star revealed she'd split from her wife Laura. However, Charlotte later decided to publicly reveal the identity of the dad-to-be and insisted she "won't be silenced". She claimed the father of her child was pop star Conor.
In a video on her Instagram account, Charlotte said: "I've really toyed with whether this is the right thing to do or not. I've sort of hidden a lot of things in the protection of somebody else through this process.
"I decided that the best thing is to always be open and honest. Essentially I have not named the father in protection of him. 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.
"She deserves to know where she comes from. I'm not a secret, she's not a dirty secret. I won't be silenced." She then concluded the post: "I met him after The Traitors wrap party and we started seeing each other and Penelope arrived in my tummy!"
