"Dancing With The Stars" finalist Sadie Robertson recently discussed how former "DWTS" contestant Candace Cameron Bure has helped her overcome her fears and grow as a dancer.

Even though the 17 year old model is usually cool and confident while dancing with partner Mark Ballas, a serious case of nerves last week caused her to forget some of the dance steps in her routine. For tips on how to prevent this from happening in the future, Sadie consulted Bure, who also partnered with Ballas on the last season of "DWTS."

"She actually had a lot of blackouts last season where she would forget some of the dance," Robertson told E! News. "So I had a little blackout Monday night and that never happens to me and I was texting her like, 'Hey, do you have any advice about the whole blackout situation? Because I'm kind of nervous."

"She was so sweet about it and very helpful," Robertson revealed. "I'm glad I texted her. She's become a really good friend of mine, her and her daughters."

Later, Bure tweeted her support for the "Duck Dynasty" star:

"Giving @sadierob advice is warmth to my soul. I'm so proud of you sweet girl."

Both Robertson and Bure have stood out in the DWTS competition for their strong Christian faith.

Last May, Bure spoke on national television about her dedication to her children, husband, and her values of modesty.

"I'm a Christian, my life revolves around my relationship with Jesus Christ," said the Full House actress and mother of three who made the finals and ultimately finished in third place. "So with the overall tone of the dance or the costumes, I'm not going to take a backseat. My voice will definitely be heard."

This season, Robertson echoed Bure's sentiments when explaining how she chooses her DWTS costumes.

"I don't think it's going to come across as sexy," Robertson said of her costumes, according to USA Today. "I'm going to go more for the cute look. I'm going to make it as classy as we can."

Currently, Robertson and Ballas are one of the few remaining couples on "DWTS" with a widespread fan following.

The four remaining couples of DWTS Fall season are Alfonso Ribeiro & Witney Carson, Bethany Mota & Derek Hough, Janel Parrish & Valentin, Chmerkovskiy and Sadie Robertson & Mark Ballas.
