Melanie Walters and her professional partner Alex Skorjanec were eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing after finishing with the lowest score among the bottom two pairs for three consecutive weeks. They received scores of 17, which was lower than Shaun Wright-Phillips and Alexis Warr’s 15 in their respective dances. The judges ultimately decided to save Wright-Phillips and Warr, sending Walters and Skorjanec home after a dance-off on Sunday night's results show. The article highlights Walters' previous work in television shows like Coronation Street and films such as Submarine.

Story summary
Melanie Walters, an actress known for her role in the BBC series Gavin and Stacey, was eliminated from this season of Strictly Come Dancing on Sunday night. This marks her as the second celebrity to exit, following hairstylist Chris Appleton last week. Despite receiving a score of 17 points for their Charleston routine set to Gina G’s "Ooh Ahh... Just A Little Bit," Walters and partner Aljaz Skorjanec were in the bottom two after performing poorly with only 15 points for their quickstep to The Monkees' song "I’m A Believer." During a dance-off against former footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips and his partner Alexis Warr, who scored lower, Walters was voted off by judges. The eliminated couple will appear on the spin-off show It Takes Two on Monday evening.
