Charlotte, 34, has repeatedly claimed Conor, also 32, was the father of her baby after the pair were introduced at a wrap party for the BBC reality show through their mutual friend Harry Clark, who was dating Conor’s younger sister, Anna.

The TV personality originally did not share the identity of the baby’s father, but ultimately decided she didn’t want it to be a ‘dirty secret’ and named Conor.

After Charlotte gave birth to Penelope last October, Conor finally addressed speculation in March to say a paternity test confirmed he was not her father.

In Conor’s denial that he was the father, he wrote: ‘I am glad that the speculation can finally be put to an end.

‘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.’

However, Charlotte subsequently claimed an ‘unidentified male was present’ when the singer’s DNA sample was collected. A second paternity test has since reportedly been carried out, which proves Conor is not Penelope’s father, The Sun reported.

Charlotte and Conor were reportedly swabbed earlier this week and received the results via email last night.

A source told the publication: ‘Charlotte is shell-shocked by the news. She has been fighting for the truth to come out for the past 18 months during an already difficult time as a first-time single mum.

‘It’s never been about the fact Conor is in the public eye or has money behind him. Charlotte had no intention of ‘trapping’ him. It’s always been about having Penny’s father’s name on the birth certificate. Her little girl deserves that.
