Charlotte Chilton, the 34-year-old Traitors star, has endured a frightening setback just days after life-saving brain surgery.
Sources say she suffered a seizure at her home that left her unable to walk or control her limbs, prompting urgent care from her family.
A close friend told reporters, “Charlotte suffered a seizure and collapsed while at home.
She was incredibly run down, dealing with tonsillitis and a mouth full of ulcers after returning from the hospital.
Her doctors believe the seizure was linked to new medication she was prescribed.
It was terrifying—her arms went completely limp and she couldn’t stand.”
Thankfully, Charlotte’s parents were there to help her physically until she regained movement and could speak properly.
The source added that her recovery is progressing slowly but steadily.
A Long Battle with Trigeminal Neuralgia
This recent scare comes on the heels of Charlotte’s neurosurgery to address severe trigeminal neuralgia, a chronic condition that causes extreme facial pain.
Often called “the suicide disease” because of its intensity, TN can feel like sudden electric shocks in the jaw, teeth, or gums and can strike hundreds of times a day.
Charlotte shared her experience on social media after nearly three weeks in hospital, writing, “After 18 days in hospital, finally getting this bath I had dreamed about.
Still a recovery to go, but at least I’m with my little Penny again!” She had previously undergone brain surgery in her twenties to combat the condition, and this recent operation was aimed at long-term relief.
The NHS notes that TN can dramatically affect quality of life, leading to weight loss, social isolation, and depression.
Charlotte’s honesty about her struggles has drawn sympathy from fans who follow her ongoing recovery.
Family Support and Slow Recovery
During her seizure at home, Charlotte’s parents played a critical role in her care.
The ordeal left her temporarily unable to walk or move her arms, but with their support, she gradually regained control and was able to communicate again.
Her recovery continues at a measured pace, reflecting both the severity of her condition and the challenges of post-operative care.
Personal Challenges Amid Medical Struggles
Charlotte’s health battles have coincided with a very public personal drama.
Last year, she claimed singer Conor Maynard, 33, was the father of her “miracle” daughter Penelope following a one-night encounter.
Two paternity tests have since shown Conor is not the father, though Charlotte has maintained her stance.
Just hours before Charlotte announced her brain surgery, Conor sparked controversy on TikTok by referencing their paternity row, using a popular audio trend to highlight his now-famous line, “Are you SURE you didn’t sleep with anyone else?”
The post divided fans, especially given Charlotte’s recent vow to step back from social media for her own well-being.
Looking Ahead
While Charlotte continues to focus on her recovery from brain surgery and the effects of trigeminal neuralgia, her family’s support and her fans’ messages of encouragement have been central to her healing process.
She faces a slow road ahead, but sources say she is determined to regain her strength and mobility.
Her experience underscores the challenges of managing a severe chronic condition while navigating public scrutiny and personal disputes, highlighting the resilience required to keep moving forward after life-altering surgery.h
