On Wednesday, Charlotte had revealed: 'I very nearly didn't go [to the party] at all because I didn't even know who Conor Maynard is. Harry was putting on the pressure (both pictured)
'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.

She revealed the pair ended up sleeping together and also 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 that 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, but laterexpressed that he was not ready to be a father.
Charlotte recalled:'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 says she is 'unclear' about the level of involvement Conor will have in their daughter's life.
Harry, who won series two, Charlotte's series, of The Traitors, is dating Conor's sister Anna Maynard (Harry and Anna pictured in January at a The Traitors' screening)
Charlotte soared to fame on the programme and was wrongly 'banished' by her co-stars who didn't believe she was 'Faithful'
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 and 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 andCharlotte were friends on the show they do not follow each other on social media. It is not clear if they used to.
Charlotte revealed her pregnancy news in May as she shared that 'IVF had failed' for her and she was previously told by medics she 'probably' wouldn't ever become a mother

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.
It was revealed later that monththat Charlotte had split from her wife Laura.
Charlotte uploaded a sweet gender reveal video with her family, in which she watched her baby scan before it lit up with pink lights, indicating she is expecting a girl.
She captioned the sweet clip: 'GENDER REVEAL!! I would have been happy either way but I did want a little mini me!!'
She continued: 'I have already leaked her perfect little name! Did you catch her name?? She is already so loved !! So many changes going in my life and I can't wait to tell you all about it !! Watch this space!!!'
Charlotte's wife Laura did not appear in the video and the reality star tellingly added the hashtags: '#singlemoms #singlemum #singlemumsuk #independent #femaleempowerment' to confirm her single status.

Conor wore a very peculiar hat and the two enjoyed drinks at The Mason's Arms in Conor's favourite haunt, Battersea
It is unclear how long the pair dated for exactly, but Layla first shared a snap with Conor in July 2021 of her and the star donning fancy dress as she captioned the post: 'Date night out of the mansion.'
She then shared another cosy photo with the singer a month later in August 2021, but there are no posts of them after that date.
However, in a heartbreak track shared on TikTok in January, Conor candidly revealed that he went through a breakup at the end of 2022, which some fans have linked to Layla, meaning they may have dated for around 18 months.
He said: 'So, the last few months I took a bit of a break from social media because at the end of 2022, I had my heart ripped out.'But anyway I took that time to write some music about it, and this is a little bit of one of the songs. It's called 'If I Ever'.'
