The Traitors’ Charlotte Chilton was hospitalised with health woes and ‘anxiety’ after the paternity test row involving singer Conor Maynard.
The TV personality, 32, who is the mother to daughter Penelope, six months, revealed that she has also been suffering from issues with her gallbladder as she shared a downcast selfie in the hospital to Instagram on Friday.
Charlotte appeared to be in pain as she was seen lying in a hospital bed with her hand on her head.
Alongside her Story, she penned: ‘Me two days ago! Gallbladders and stress don’t mix.’
Charlotte is yet to update her fans about her health battles, but an earlier story has suggested she has returned home.
Her trip to the hospital comes after Conor’s second paternity test results were revealed earlier this year.

Charlotte announced in June last year that Conor, also 32, was the father of her unborn ‘miracle’ baby, having fallen pregnant as a result of a one-night stand.
After the birth, she claimed he refused to acknowledge her baby daughter Penelope as his own.
A paternity test found Conor was not the father, but Charlotte claimed an ‘unidentified male was present’ when the singer’s DNA sample was collected.
The mother-of-one also alleged Conor ‘switched testing locations last minute’ and that her own DNA was not taken.
The pair then took a second test, which proved once and for all that Conor did not father Charlotte’s daughter – which was then followed up by a statement from her.
Her rep told Daily Mail at the time: ‘For those of you who have followed Charlotte’s journey since her appearance on BBC’s The Traitors, will know she has fought an extraordinary battle for truth and justice with heartfelt conviction.
‘We are forever grateful to everyone who has shown unwavering love and support to Charlotte over the past 12 months.
‘Special thanks must also go to Charlotte’s rockstar legal advisors, Lorna McCammon (SFR Law) and Paul Lunt (Brabners) for their invaluable counsel and guidance. We could not have done this without you.
‘Charlotte will now take time to process, heal and reflect and when she is ready, she will finally share her story in full.’
Conor took to Instagram to share his own statement reiterating he is not baby Penelope’s father.

He wrote: ‘Today I received the results of a second paternity test which was requested by Charlotte Chilton regarding her baby girl, Penelope.
‘As with the last test, this test confirmed again that I am not Penelope’s father. As Charlotte requested, Penelope’s, Charlotte’s and my DNA were taken at a Ministry of Justice accredited DNA testing facility that was selected by Charlotte. The results are therefore conclusive.
‘This has been difficult for me and my family, and I’m so grateful for everyone’s support. I’m glad we can now finally draw a line under this.
‘I sincerely hope these results mean we can all find a way to move on with our lives.’
In a standard DNA paternity test, at least two people need to provide samples: the child and the alleged father. Including the mother’s sample is generally recommended for increased accuracy of the test.
Conor appeared on This Morning in May to explain the toll the paternity scandal had on him after Charlotte went on to say she doubted the accuracy of the test.
He said: ‘I was instantly painted as a dead-beat dad. My comments on my social media were all about that.’
Conor added: ‘Mental health is something I have struggled with for a huge portion of my life. And this year has been up there with my battle with it.’
