Charlotte Chilton 'refuses DNA test' as Jonny Holloway claims he slept with her

The Traitors star Jonny Holloway has claimed that he slept with Charlotte Chilton, who took part in the same series of the show as him.

In a paternity scandal which has unfolded over the last 16 months, it has been unknown who the father of Charlotte's daughter Penelope is. After the second series of The Traitors, the 32-year-old met singer Conor Maynard and says she fell pregnant in January 2024.

She has said that Penelope, who is now 13 months old, is a result of their one-night stand together. Charlotte agreed to Penelope undergoing two paternity tests in March and August this year.

Both DNA tests showed that Conor was not the father, but Charlotte has still continued to insist that he is. However, more news has unfolded this week, which has suggested another Traitors star could be the father.

Conor shared a message on social media where he said he thinks that Penelope's father is former soldier Jonny Holloway. Jonny didn't answer whether he could be the baby's father at first, but has now spoken about the situation.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Jonny claims that he and Charlotte did have sex. Jonny has reportedly asked Charlotte for a DNA test, but she has denied the pair sleeping together.

He said: "After a night out in March last year, people came back to stay at my house and as I said I was highly intoxicated, I know things took place, and I understand she was sober.

"If I had an inclination I was the father, I would have spoken up more clearly. I was drunk that night and I wasn’t quite with it, so I don’t know exactly how it went but I know something happened between us. And I have said to her that I want to do a DNA test, I want to find out. If I thought I was ever the father of someone’s child I would want to know and clear it up. That’s where I stand with it."

Charlotte is yet to address Jonny's latest claims, but she has previously denied sleeping with him. She said previously: "There's never been anything romantic with Jonny. We’ve had a friendship, but there’s never been a relationship between me and Johnny. We weren’t sleeping together in January at all. It never happened."

Jonny is a former member of the Royal Lancers who became a fan favourite on The Traitors for being open about the aftermath of his deployment to Afghanistan in 2013.

He was travelling in the lead vehicle of a patrol in a known Taliban stronghold when it was blown up by an explosive device. He had his leg amputated three years later and was diagnosed with PTSD. Jonny was also blinded in one eye and suffered a brain injury, which affects his short-term memory and concentration.

Jonny said that he got in touch with Charlotte to suggest they should get a DNA test to see if he is Penelope's father. He said that she initially agreed but he has not heard from her since. The Traitor's star's ex-wife, Lauren Ward, is the person who sent Conor Maynard a message claiming that Jonny has slept with Charlotte at the same time that he had.

Conor then shared a video with his 2.8million Instagram followers, which stated Jonny could be the father. Jonny said: "I think for everyone’s sake – and for Penelope’s sake – there is a young child who needs to find out who her father is." Conor previously told us: "I was always of the opinion that the whole thing could and should have been dealt with quietly and privately, especially since none of it had even been proven before it reached the court of public opinion. It had zero benefit from being so publicly carried out, but obviously, it's too late for that now; what's done is done. So I think that lyric kind of points to the fact that maybe it's sometimes better to deal with things properly before shouting them from the rooftops."
