Jake Pavelka is getting ready to start his new job as the host of the bare-chested Chippendales show in Las Vegas and he exclusively told Breaking Celebrity News that not only is he terrified about the live audience, but he’s been told his job is to “get the girls into their underwear!”

A hunky alum of the reality show The Bachelor, Jake is making his debut appearance with the Chippendales on February 23 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino, and he says he’s afraid of going out on stage.

Keeping a good sense of humor about his new gig, Jake admitted that he’s “been nervous for a month,” about appearing before a live audience.

“Everything I’ve done before this has been scripted shows, or taped, but this is the real deal.

“I’m intimidated to shake it on stage,” Jake said.

Showing off his incredible abs wouldn’t really disappoint the fans in the audience, but Jake said he isn’t going to be stripping or performing. “I can’t dance! These Chippendales have choreography, they’re professionals. I’m going to have costume changes but John Cook the choreographer told me my job is to get the girls into their underwear.”
