Charlotte Chilton shared a heartwrenching Instagram post on Wednesday about her baby daughter amid Conor Maynard's claims he is not the father of her child.

The Traitors star, 32, who had previously undergone IVF, shared a picture of her baby girl's teddy which she revealed was the first item she had brought her while she was still pregnant.

Charlotte admitted she 'never thought' she would get to give the cuddly toy to her baby after previously suffering seven miscarriages.   

She penned: '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!' 

Charlotte announced in June last year that Conor was the father of her unborn 'miracle' baby, having fallen pregnant as the result of an one night stand.

She claimed he ghosted her after finding out she was pregnant and has refused to acknowledge baby Penelope as his own.

But last week, Conor dropped a huge bombshell by alleging that the results of a paternity test have shown he did not father a child with the BBC star, despite her claims.

Conor wrote on Instagram: 'Earlier this week, I took a paternity test regarding Charlotte Chiltern's baby girl Penelope, in the presence of her legal representative.

'Today I've received the test results which confirm that I am not Penelope's father. I am glad that the speculation can finally be put to an end.'

He continued: 'All I would ask is 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.'

In the comments of the post, Conor's siblings Jack, 30, and Anna, 24, who is also the girlfriend of Traitors winner Harry Clark, showed their support with emojis.

MailOnline has contacted a representative for Charlotte for comment.

At the time of her shock announcement claiming that Conor was the father back in June, speaking to OK!, Charlotte said: 'He knows [I've given birth] I've not heard anything, I had real torment over whether to contact him when she was here or not.

'And I figured I don't want to speak to him, but he has a right to know. I knew if I didn't reach out people would say I hadn't bothered'.

Charlotte also spoke candidly about her post natal anxiety and the fact that Penelope looks just like her alleged father.

'There have 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 went on to discuss whether she wanted Conor to be part of her daughter's life, stating: '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.'

Conor's bombshell claim comes just after Charlotte opened up about the financial hardships she faces as a single mother.

In an exclusive chat with MailOnline, Charlotte explained not just the mental but practical implications of the fallout, confessing she's been forced to work around the clock as a new mum just to make ends meet.

Charlotte - who has launched her recruitment consultancy business - explained: 'You struggle financially to make ends start in a new business.

'You don't take a salary very often in your first year - and I'm trying to do this whilst I've got a newborn baby - do you look after a newborn and do recruitment? It's very difficult to manage.'

Charlotte continued: 'Penelope has got everything she needs don't get me wrong, she's got nice clothes, we're booked into baby massage, she's learning to swim, but that's because I put her first. I go without so she can have these things.

'If someone else were to chip in, what else could I provide for her? What else could I do? Be a mum who's present instead of a mum that's working every hour and is exhausted all the time because she's trying to make ends meet.'

Charlotte - who recently moved back in with her parents - went on: 'All my friends and family break their backs to offer us support.

'Whether it's been staying with my parents while I save to buy a property, or them paying bills at some point - honestly, it's been that tough.

'Or friends taking her off my hands for the day so I can go to client meetings because I can't afford childcare.'

Charlotte has been vocal about Conor's lack of involvement in their lives, saying at the time of her pregnancy reveal: 'She [Penelope] is not a dirty secret and I won’t be silenced.’
