2024: the RUNDOWN: day 7

3 Traitors and a Baby

What do Jacqueline Wilson novels, Conor Maynard and The Nativity all have in common? Daddy issues.

2024 did a number on us with a two-in-one 'who-dun-it' news story...

Season 2 of BBC's The Traitors burst onto our screens as the murder mystery programme introduced us to a batch of freshly baked contestants, keen to uncover the group's traitors and faithfuls. Charlotte Chilton, a likeable faithful (who lost aura points due to her slight teacher pet vibes n dat), entered onto our screens, none the wiser than in a year's time, she would be the Daily Mail's golden girl... 

After unexpectedly falling pregnant after several lost pregnancies, Charlotte shared the lovely news that she was baking a seeds sensations in the oven. But the ball really started rolling in June 2024, when she revelved that the father of her baby was... Conor Maynard!!! in an Instagram post that could laugh any other Wagatha Christie style post out of the room., Charlalala revealed that she and her baby would not be kept a dirty secret and revealed that the 'Can't Say No' singer was indeed, dad. 


Conor still has not publicly commented on his fatherhood but the baby is literally Maynard's face with a bow on its head. apple<3tree


She broke the internet (at best, dismantled The Mirror for the better half of a Sunday morning) and exposed the drams that after meeting The Traitors wrap party, the pair shared a special hug and voila! *stage right, ENTER baby Penelope*. Things got icey quick, however, when Conor quickly ghosted Charlotte and expressed zero interest in co-parenting or getting to know his baby. Sandwhiched inbetween Denise Welch and the rest of ITV's Loose Women, 'ar Char has had Loose Women interviews, featured in more Daily Mail articles than you could shake a Conor Maynard stick at, and been very vocal on her Instagram regarding the baby drama.

Feeling like Maynard tried to 'silence' her, after apparently changing his initately positive tune into a negative one, Charlotte unashamedly shared her news and has always been open in the fact that she has given him the option to know his daughter.

If Conor had been sat at that Round Table, i fear he would soon become the meal served upon it.

It's all very BBC and its one of those random British sub-culture news stories that will never stop being the hand that feeds me. It's bonkerz.

"girls girls girls I just CAN say no" apparently :/
