Sean Lowe's run on The Bachelor might be over, but he'll be back on TV before you know it.

The recently engaged star, along with pro partner Peta Murgatroyd, confirmed Tuesday morning on Good Morning America the not-so-well-kept secret that he'll be joining the newest cast of Dancing With the Stars.

"Hopefully, I won't make a fool of myself on the dance floor," Catherine Giudici's fiancé said with a laugh.

Monday night in L.A., E! News asked Bachelor host Chris Harrison at the launch of his clothing line, Chris Harrison Collection by Da Vinci, what he thought about the idea of Sean on DWTS.

"I think they definitely need him to do the show," Chris said. "If he does it, I doubt he'll have his shirt on, ever."

Fortunately for all of us, Sean's pro partner agrees on the need for going shirtless: A fan asked Peta on Twitter, "Does this mean there will be more Monday nights filled with a shirtless @SeanLowe09," to which she responded, "Um..yes :)"

DWTS season 16 premieres March 18 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. Until then, keep those Bachelor episodes saved on your DVR for your Sean Lowe abs fix.
