  It may well be Chillerton Beauty but it's not a magellanica.

  Cannot find anything on www to suggest that Fuchsia Chillerton Beauty comes under the species Fuchsia Magellanica.....which is a very dainty, small flowered ,hardy Fuchsia.

  There are 1,000's  of named Fuchsia.
  Very hard to be positive from images ...one way or another
  
  www states it is an upright grower.
  Parentage unknown.
  Bred by bass.

  No agree with @Obelixx . It is not a magellanica.

  We had one given to us from the Margery Fish Nursery and the flowers are nothing like this.

  They are small and pink with no other colours on their petals.

  Magellanica fuchsias are distinguished by the fine, narrow form of the flowers.   Your possible Chillerton Beauty is short, round and fat and very unlikely to be magellanica.
