Melanie Walters

To tell you the truth, no word of a lie, I thought I was going to be out last week, so an extra week with this beautiful soul,... You’re an ultimate professional in what you do. That’s why you’re so successful in what you do, and you showed me what hard work really is and what hard work really means.”

• After her exit, Walters told host Emma Willis... to which Škorjanec said

I’m so so proud of you!! Sad you’re leaving, but you were beautiful, honest, heartfelt and looked flipping fab in the outfits!!! Love you!!!”

• On Instagram, Walters’ on-screen Gavin and Stacey daughter, Joanna Page, wrote

I’ve no formal dance training to speak of. My involvement in musicals and pantos have been as a character actress not a dancer, but I have always loved to dance.”

• Explaining her background, however, Walters explained

Performing pantomime for the last 15 years, my Strictly ‘fix’ has always been watching in a dressing room rather than my front room. This year, I am completely thrilled and happy to swap my fairy wand for sequinned dance shoes.”
