It isn't news to anyone who saw his face when she removed her bikini.

Nick Viall has confirmed he felt 'a little uncomfortable' when Corinne whipped out her boobs on Monday's The Bachelor.

The star of the show told ET he was caught off guard by the improptu striptease — even if he did end up with his hands full.

'I think you even saw on the show that I was sort of caught off guard, and quite honestly, I was a little uncomfortable,' he admitted.

'But I like people and women who are expressive and confident and willing to take risks,' he continued. 'I think we should be careful about judging and criticizing people so quickly for doing that.'

On Monday's episode the first group date - a wedding-style photoshoot - ended up with Nick and Corinne in the pool, the latter with her breasts out and the former holding them, while the rest of the girls looked on unimpressed. 

'Corinne was in the moment and certainly was being guided by the photographer and I don't think she meant anything by that, but I was a little bit uncomfortable,' Nick said.

'But at the same time, I wasn't going to give too much credit to that particular situation one way or the other.'

Nevertheless, the gambit appeared to pay off, as the 24-year-old finished the day with a rose and another crack at the title.

'My decision to give Corinne the rose wasn't in any way based off that, for better or worse,' Nick insisted. 'It was more based off the conversations that I know a lot of which wasn't shown.'

In a promo for a future episode, the 36-year-old is seen toasting 'to Finland' with Rachel, the recipient of his First Impression rose. The show had already confirmed last month that this is where Nick will end up with his final three. 

'Maybe,' Nick replied when asked if Rachel indeed makes the finale. 'I honestly don't even know if I can answer that, so I'm just not going to. But I hope you enjoy watching and finding out.'
