In April 2023, Walters starred as Matron Beth Relp in the ITVX drama series Malpractice. Walters said about the production, "Malpractice has that element of being a medical thriller. But it's also about humanity and the chaos inside a human and how human beings react." Also in 2023, Walters appeared as the sister-in-law to the title character in Sweet Sue, a film starring Maggie O'Neill, Tony Pitts and Harry Trevaldwyn.
