Conor Maynard has shared a brutal response to Charlotte Chilton's latest claims insisting he is the father of her child.

Chilton, who starred in season two of The Traitors, has repeatedly insisted that the singer is the father of her daughter, Penelope, who was born in October last year.

Meanwhile, Maynard has repeatedly denied the claims, resulting in a public dispute between the pair.

The dispute appeared to be finally settled earlier this year when the results of a second paternity test revealed he was not the father of toddler Penelope, a result which the 32-year-old welcomed.

However, Chilton appears to be standing strong in her claim, revealing that she believes a rare medical condition had disguised the 'fact' that Maynard was her child's father.

Speaking in a new interview with The Sun, Chilton believes she may have been carrying twins and lost one baby early and this could potentially explain why Maynard's DNA does not show up on a paternity test.

"I have researched and researched trying to find the answers because I know for a fact that the only person who can be my daughter’s father is Conor Maynard," she said.

"And finally, after speaking to experts I have found out that what might have happened is I could have been carrying twins but lost one very early.

"Then strange genetics come into play which means that twin could have taken certain DNA so her father could never show up on a paternity test. It is something called chimerism."

While the explanation 'made sense' to Chilton, Maynard appeared to be unimpressed with the theory and shared a scathing reaction on Instagram yesterday (29 October).

The singer stitched a clip of Chilton appearing emotional in her interview alongside his recent song 'Cherry On Top'.

"Here's an invisible tissue for your invisible tears," Maynard said in response to the clip, before playing a segment from the single.

The song appears to be a direct dig at Chilton and her claims, including lyrics such as 'Why you even talking baby, won't you stop/Ain't nobody listening 'cause you talk too much' and 'Please shut up with a cherry on top'.

"My response to the most recent news.." he captioned the clip, just incase the video didn't give away what he was talking about.

Maynard previously poked fun at Chilton in a music video released for the track last month, which featured a number of not-so-subtle digs at the paternity case.

At the start of the video, he appears surrounded by press hounding him about 'his child' while speaking into microphones labelled 'Not My Sun' and 'The Legal Guardian'.

LADbible previously contacted Maynard for a response to Chilton’s claims.
