Conor Maynard reveals devastating health battle that has left him 'screaming in pain' after he was rushed to hospital by paramedics
Conor Maynard has opened up about the devastating health battle that has stopped the release of his new music and left him 'screaming in pain'. The Can't Say No hitmaker, 32, revealed on Monday why he released his single Runaway Man in May and then largely went to ground. Conor's disappearance from public life followed his revelation back in February that he had been rushed to hospital after falling down in his home. He told Instagram followers: 'So I thought I'd explain why I've been pretty quiet over the last few months, and why I released one song in May and then seemingly disappeared when the original plan was to post a string of songs for you guys. 'I posted earlier this year that I was experiencing issues with my back, and it has been quite the journey.' Alongside the post was a picture of the star being carried on a stretcher by paramedics and a snap of a cannula in his arm. Conor said that despite intending to release new music and visiting a chiropractor in a bid to solve his ongoing back problem, 'nothing improved'. The situation took another turn for the worse this weekend when he was left 'screaming in pain' because the pain in his back was so intense. He continued: 'Then I lost all the colour in my face which made my girlfriend panic so we called an ambulance and I was taken to hospital. 'The annoying thing about this kind of injury is that there isn't much that can be done immediately other than try to manage the pain, and then make more long term recovery attempts. 'Right now it's looking like surgery is the only option but obviously that's kind of scary.' Conor added: 'It really has affected by life in so many ways. 'Filming music content is nearly impossible as I can't lift or move any of my lights, even holding a camera up is too heavy.' After revealing that he has a bulging disk in his back, Conor, pictured with his girlfriend Kitty Bertrand, said that while he has a 'long' recovery journey ahead of him, he is hoping to release new music as 'soon' as he can. The singer's health troubles are not the only battle he has recently faced and he has also been embroiled in a paternity scandal after the Traitors' star Charlotte Chilton claimed that he was the father of her daughter Penelope after a one-night stand The singer's health troubles are not the only battle he has recently faced. He has also been embroiled in a paternity scandal after the Traitors' star Charlotte Chilton claimed on Instagram that he was the father of her daughter Penelope after a one-night stand. However, a subsequent DNA test confirmed in March that he was not the child's father. Conor subsequently appeared on This Morning to explain the toll the paternity scandal had on him after Charlotte went on to say she doubted the accuracy of the test. He said: 'I was instantly painted as a dead-beat dad. My comments on my social media were all about that.' Conor added: 'Mental health is something I have struggled with for a huge portion of my life. 'And this year has been up there with my battle with it.'

Conor Maynard to 'tell his side of the story' after baby DNA drama with Traitors star
Charlotte Chilton claimed that Conor was the father of her daughter, Penelope - something the singer denies. Earlier this year, Conor Maynard made a shock announcement that he was not the father of Traitors star Charlotte Chilton's baby girl Penelope - after she previously claimed he was the dad. The pair are believed to have met through Charlotte's fellow Traitors co-star Harry Clark, who is dating influencer Anna Maynard, Conor's sister. Charlotte made public claims that Conor was the father of Penelope and that she had reached out to him after finding out that she was pregnant. The reality star claimed that she had tried to get in touch with Conor but he had failed to respond. Charlotte said she ideally "wouldn't want" Conor in her life but, because of her daughter, she has to "suck it up and put her first". Speaking on Loose Women when she was pregnant, Charlotte said: "I'm always torn with what's best for the baby. "For me and my mental health, and the damage that Conor has done to me, I absolutely wouldn't want him in my life. "But, I'm an adult and I understand what I've entered into here and if that's how it has to be then I have to suck it up and put her first." "I would like it for her at some point in her life, but I don't think there's really much point at this stage. "In the future maybe - that might be nice for her. But it's got to be all Penelope's decision." However, back in March, Conor made a shock statement revealing that he was not the baby's father after he had taken a paternity test. He wrote at the time: "Earlier this week, I took a paternity test regarding Charlotte Chilton's baby girl, Penelope, in the presence of her legal representative. "Today I've received the test results which confirm that I am not Penelope's father. I am glad that the speculation can finally be put to an end. "All I would ask is that people act with kindness in response to this news - there is a child at the heart of all of this and that should not be forgotten. I wish Charlotte and her family all the best. Conor." Conor has made a string of sporadic posts on social media posts since, including one with his girlfriend as they began their 'new chapter' after moving in together. He also shared a second picture of a volcano photoshopped into the back, writing: "On to a new chapter.. (the photo was taken on a grey, miserable day so I edited the sky.. I wanted to use the second slide but Kitty wouldn't let me)." Conor has now taken to social media to reveal he is releasing new music. Alongside a promotional video for his track Runaway Man, he shared: "I know I've been kinda quiet this past year.. I guess it's time to start telling my side of the story."
