‘Duck Dynasty’ Stars On Sadie Getting ‘Down & Dirty’ On ‘Dancing’

“Dancing With the Stars” judge Julianne Hough told dancer Sadie Robertson that she might need to get “more down and dirty” to the win the competition – something her “Duck Dynasty” dad Willie Robertson is not exactly down with.

Willie and wife Korie stopped by Access Hollywood Live on Monday, where they chatted with Billy Bush and Kit Hoover about their daughter’s transformation into a bona fide dancer since appearing on the ABC competition series.

“She’s a sassy Southern girl,” proud mom Korie daughter said of her 17-year-old daughter, who just so happens to attend a high school where dancing is not even permitted.

“I had no idea she could dance,” Willie said, admitting he “started balling and crying” upon seeing her first dance on the show.

“It was our baby up there and it was a proud moment,” Korie added.

But what about judge Julianne’s recommendation that the 17-year-old needs to amp up her dancing style and get “more down and dirty” in order to win.

“I’m not so sure about down and dirty,” Willie cautioned. “Maybe she can get down, but maybe not so dirty.”

“DWTS” continues Monday at 8/7c on ABC.
