Pregnant Charlotte Chilton was seen the firstsince announcing her pregnancy and revealing pop star Conor Maynard is the father of her unborn 'miracle' babyas she attended The Baby Show in Manchester on Sunday.

The Traitors' star, 32, was spotted leaving with some goodies for her newborn after relishing her time at the massive event in partnership withLidl GB Manchester Central.

The Baby Show is the UK's largest shopping destination with 250+ brands for all things mother and baby with a wide range of choice including buggies, car seats, nursery furniture, carriers, clothing, feeding equipment, baby monitors and more.

And the reality star certainly seemed to be in for some shopping as she was snapped taking her time browsing the endless lanes of products

A few things appeared to have caught her eye, including a baby cradle, as she was on the hunt for the cutest cot mobile to attach.

Charlotte also checked out a baby car seat and looked comfortable as she was snapped taking a rest sitting on the floor.

The star stopped by for a few shots, posing in front of one of the cribs, and beamed cheerfully for the camera.

For the occasion, Charlotte opted for an effortlessly chic look in an oversized white T-shirt and black leggings.

She teamed it with a pair of wedges with white straps while showing off a flawless pedicure.

The pregnant recruitment manager added a touch of bling to her casual ensemble as she sported a gold watch and matching hoop earrings.

She accessorised with a black crossbody bag, and rocked a glamorous make-up look with bold red lipstick.

Earlier in the day, Charlotte was spotted out and about in Manchester.

She appeared relaxed and in jovial spirits as she walked around the city alongside a female pal.

The beauty was snapped gently cradling her baby bump during her daily outing and flashed a happy beam.

The reality star shocked fans when she revealed pop star Conor Maynard is the father of her unborn 'miracle' baby and claimed he had been trying to 'silence' her.

The pair met at the wrap party for the BBC show, as Conor is the elder brother of CBBC star Anna Maynard - who is the girlfriend of The Traitors winner Harry Clark.

Charlotte has now claimed that it was Harry who had 'pressured' her into attending the show wrap party in January because Conor had learnt she was newly-single and wanted to meet her.

The party was thrown in honour of British Army Lance Corporal and 'Traitor' Harry, 23, who shocked the nation when he snatched the £95,150 prize fund from the Faithfuls in a nailbiting finale.

However, it appears the real drama began after the cameras stopped rolling.

This week it emerged that 'Faithful' Charlotte was harbouring a secret of her own as she finally unveiled the father of her unborn child.

Charlotte had longed for years for a baby, enduring several failed IVF rounds with her estranged wife Laura before conceiving naturally with Conor.

However, despite falling pregnant with her 'miracle' baby, the story was far from a fairytale, with Charlotte accusing the singer of trying to 'silence her'.

Breaking her silence after the shock reveal, Charlotte - who is now five months pregnant - took to to her Instagram Stories to thank her followers for all their 'kind messages and advice' and also gave an interview sharing more details on the ill-fated fling.

She told Metro: 'I very nearly didn't go at all because I didn't even know who Conor Maynard is. Harry was putting on the pressure.

'Conor was next to me all night pursuing me. I was rude as hell to him for hours, which apparently was the thing he liked.

'But he was also a gentleman. I'd just got out of a really toxic relationship, and I was quite vulnerable to someone being nice to me. If I wanted to go to the toilet, he escorted me. He'd wait outside holding my bag, and take me back.'

She revealed the pair ended up sleeping together and hung out the next day.

They kept in touch over the phone and had planned to meet up again but their schedules got in the way and talk soon fizzled out.

However, after feeling unwell, Charlotte - who believed she was infertile after her IVF struggles - took a pregnancy test on her mother's advice and discovered she was expecting.

Having previously experienced seven miscarriages, Charlotte opted to wait until a few weeks later when she was feeling more confident about her pregnancy.

She claimed that Conor was initially 'lovely' about the news, yet she later claimed Conor then expressed that he was not ready to be a dad.

Charlotte shared: 'The minute I started talking about co-parenting and being understanding of his work schedule, he obviously was a bit disappointed that I was doing that.'

She now is 'unclear' about the involvement Conor will have in their daughter's life.

Earlier on Thursday, Charlotte made her big reveal in an Instagram video, explaining: 'I’ve really toyed with whether this is the right thing to do or not...

‘I’ve sort of hidden a lot of things in the protection of somebody else through this process.

‘I decided that the best thing is to always be open and honest. Essentially I have not named the father in protection of him.’

Charlotte claimed she was warned by a PR that she could be hated if she revealed the news but said the baby means more to her and said keeping a secret had a detrimental impact on her mental health.

‘I’m prepared to do this alone, but I’m not prepared to have my daughter have to grow up and not be able to say who her father is, or should I say, birth father, or hide it from her,’ she said.

‘She deserves to know where she comes from. I’m not a secret, she’s not a dirty secret. I won’t be silenced.’

‘I am standing up for myself regardless of if it comes back to me. I just can’t do this be quiet, and shut up anymore.

‘I feel like I just don’t matter, and I just don’t want that for my daughter so even though this makes me feel sick to do because everyone’s told me not to, in terms of his PR and stuff.’

Charlotte concluded: ‘My friends and family are behind me. The cast are behind me that I need to put Penelope first. When I say the cast, I mean the majority of the cast. But I’m speaking out, I won’t be silenced anymore and now you all know.'

It's a revelation that has torn the cast of The Traitors apart.

Show winner Harry is close with the Maynard brothers, often appearing in their social media posts.

While he and Charlotte were friends on the show they do not follow each other on social media. It is not clear if they used to.

Charlotte pointedly noted that she had 'the majority' of her Traitors co-stars on her side, with many of them rushing to comment on her video.

Conor has not commented publicly on the news.

MailOnline has contacted Conor's representatives for comment.

In Conor's last Instagram post on Tuesday he shared a video of himself singing his song Something To Me, which was released this year and inspired by a breakup.

In the song are the lyrics: 'We went from talking to touching to feelings / Now we're not speaking / Hate these lonely evenings, ah babe (ah babe)

'But while I'm fighting my demons, believe me / I hope you're healing, 'cause you've got no reason to change.'

Traitors winner Harry has not commented on the news and seemed in great spirits as he celebrated girlfriend Anna's birthday on Thursday.

Charlotte soared to fame on The Traitors and was wrongly 'banished' on the show by her co-stars who didn't believe she was 'Faithful'.

Conor is an English singer born and raised in Brighton. He signed a recording contract with Warner Music Group in 2011.

He rose to fame when he was nominated for, and subsequently won, MTV's Brand New for 2012 award.
