Back in season 17 (fall 2013), Glee actress Amber Riley won the mirrored-ball trophy with Derek Hough on Dancing With The Stars.

Now her former co-star Heather Morris is competing for the same honor with partner Maksim Chmkerkovskiy.

In a recent interview, Heather revealed that Amber gave her advice for the show — and it’s some of the best!

“She was like, ‘Just be yourself, have fun with it, and really enjoy it,’” Heather revealed.

She adds, after finding out it was much more than she anticipated: “I expected it to be a lot. I was very aware that it was going to be a lot, and a lot of things are going fun. And it is. It’s a lot of things, and it’s a lot is going on. But it’s actually such a cool experience.”

The 30-year-old actress took to her Twitter to share her thoughts about playing Effie and share a stunning performance of “I Am Changing.”

“I think the thing that excites me about Effie and this role is that it’s challenging � vocally, emotionally,” she explained.

Amber added, Even though she’s young in the beginning, she has this full arch and a full evolution that happens and I haven’t been able to experience that.”
