Conor Maynard has fired back at The Traitors star Charlotte Chilton, declaring that it’s time for him to have his say on their paternity test row.
Charlotte announced in June last year that Conor was allegedly the father of her unborn ‘miracle’ baby, having fallen pregnant as a result of a one-night stand.
But two paternity tests have since found Conor, who announced his engagement to his girlfriend Kitty Bertrand over the weekend, is not the dad.
The singer and social media star fired another shot on Monday, posting a new video on Instagram in which he pokes fun at the scandal, telling fans it is: ‘My turn on the mic.’
The Instagram reel shows Conor in a mock press conference surrounded by microphones with sly digs at the paternity row. ‘Traitor Times,’ ‘Not My Sun’, and ‘The Legal Guardian’ are parodied newspaper brands emblazoned on the mics.
Journalists are then seen clamouring to fire questions at Conor, with the first asking: ‘Conor, is it true that you still can’t say no to women?’ Another asks ‘Roughly how much did you pay to change your DNA?’

Finally ‘Billy Jean from the One Night Standard’ asks: ‘You’ve been at the centre of a lot of drama and accusations over the past year and a half, do you have anything to say on the matter?’
Conor doesn’t say anything but looks directly at the camera before the words ‘Cherry On Top Sept 26’ flash up on screen. Links from his Instagram direct fans to music streaming services to pre save the new track.
Conor’s second paternity test results previously confirmed he was not the father to Charlotte Chilton’s baby daughter.
After the birth of Charlotte’s daughter Penelope, she claimed Conor refused to acknowledge her 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.’
Meanwhile, Conor took to social media to share his own statement, penning: ‘Today I received the results of a second paternity test, which was requested by Charlotte regarding her baby girl, Penelope.
‘As with the last test, this test has confirmed again that I am not Penelope’s father.
‘As Charlotte requested, Penelope’s, Charlotte’s and my DNA were all 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.’

Conor shared a snap of him kissing Kitty as she beamed while showing off her rock to fans.
