Conor Maynard has doubled down on his claims that a paternity test proved he’s not the father of Charlotte Chilton’s baby, after pals of the star questioned the accuracy of the test.
Charlotte, 32, 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, and claimed he’s refused to acknowledge her baby daughter Penelope as his own.
Last week, Conor, 32, dropped a huge bombshell by alleging that the results of a paternity test have shown he did not father a child with Charlotte, despite her claims.
Now, in a new statement, Conor’s representatives have insisted the DNA test has ‘drawn a line under the matter’ and shared hopes that Charlotte ‘can find a way to move forward.’
Charlotte’s pals had previously shared that the star has doubts over the accuracy of the DNA test, particularly after he changed its location at the last minute.
Conor’s representatives said to MailOnline: ‘It is very difficult to understand how the location of the paternity test would have changed the results.

‘To be clear, this test was conducted by a registered nurse in the presence of Charlotte’s legal representative. The results have clearly drawn a line under the matter, and we can only hope that Charlotte can find a way to move forward.’
On Wednesday, Conor also took to Instagram to reveal he’s embarking on a ‘new chapter’ by buying a house with his girlfriend.
Charlotte reportedly still believes Conor is the father of her child according to pals, despite the singer’s claims a paternity test has proven otherwise.
Friends say the new mum has major doubts on the accuracy of the test after it was all reportedly controlled by Conor’s lawyers.
As Charlotte’s pals broke their silence on the paternity news, they told The Sun: ‘She is bitterly disappointed about the results and her legal team are looking into how they move forward to ensure Conor takes a second test. It’s been an exhausting fight between them.’
Explaining how Conor has distanced himself from Charlotte since she announced her pregnancy they continued: ‘He refused to take her calls or answer messages, and instead put everything into the hands of his lawyers.
‘It’s all been on his terms. Conor even had his team change the testing location.
‘He couldn’t wait to tell the world about the paternity test after getting the results.’

They added that the main reason for Charlotte’s doubts come from the move by Conor to change the location of the DNA test at the last minute.

It comes after Conor wrote on Instagram on Friday: ‘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.’
