The Bachelorette star Kaitlyn Bristowe easily won Dancing With The Stars back in Season 29. Many weren’t at all surprised to see another member of Bachelor Nation go home with the Mirrorball Trophy. Hannah Brown also came in first place in Season 28.

Now, Gabby Windey hopes that she will get a chance to bring home the trophy as Season 31 continues. She and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy have been working very hard week after week and are determined to win. But of course, a little advice from a previous winner is always welcome.

Keep reading to see what friendly advice Kaitlyn had to share with Gabby in a heart-to-heart talk.

Kaitlyn Bristowe remembers her time on DWTS very fondly

Competing on Dancing With The Stars is a life-changing opportunity for many. And Kaitlyn Bristowe is definitely glad she had that chance. Many were so excited to see her compete with Artem Chigvintsev that year. It was also Artem’s first win as a pro dancer.

The pair had many amazing routines together and Kaitlyn was eager to talk with Gabby and share some tips.

“When I reached out, I was like, ‘I’m so excited for you. I’m here for you if you need anything — if you need advice, if you need a foot rub.’ I gave her all my advice and she said that she’s got some big shoes to fill and she is doing just fine,” Kaitlyn told Us Weekly in a recent interview. “She’s doing incredible. I know how busy [it gets] and how many hours go into that, so I have tried to reach out a couple times and be like, ‘Do you need anything?’ But I know she’s so busy. There’s so many people on the season I feel like I’m rooting for. It’s just packed with talent and inspiring people.”

Kaitlyn really hopes Gabby and Val can win it all, but she admitted she also wouldn’t mind seeing Daniel Durant and Britt Stewart bring home the trophy.

“Daniel, oh, my gosh. Talk about inspiring and I love seeing his partnership with Britt [Stewart] because you can tell she’s really invested in learning sign language and that partner communication is so important,” The Bachelorette star added.

Does Season 29 champ still keep in touch with Artem Chigvintsev?

Although Kaitlyn and Artem worked well together during their season, it doesn’t appear that the pair keep in touch. But even so, Kaitlyn wishes him all the luck and happiness in the world after their win together.

“You know, what’s funny is I actually feel like Artem and I had — it [was] like a business,” she continued in the interview. “And then we moved forward, and I haven’t really talked to him, which is kind of sad. I don’t know. He’s busy, he’s dancing every day. He’s got a little sweet boy at home, and he just got married [to Nikki Bella], which I was so excited for them.”

Dancing With The Stars will come back for week seven on Monday night. It’s going to be a spooky Halloween-themed episode on October 31, so don’t miss out. The top nine couples are already back in the rehearsal room preparing to put on a great show for everyone. Tune into Disney+ at 8 PM eastern time to catch the magic!
