Jordan Rodgers appears uncomfortable, nervous and squirmy when The Bachelorette star JoJo Fletcher confronts him about an ex-girlfriend's allegations in a new preview clip released by ABC.

News of Rodgers' The Bachelorette participation leaked before the show began filming, so Fletcher read about him online prior to meeting him in person.

"I actually met somebody that you used to date," Fletcher, a 25-year-old Dallas real estate developer, tells Rodgers while enjoying dinner on a one-on-one date.

"She was in Dallas and this girl told me that you had dated and you were kind of off and on with her, that you kind of blew her off, and there was some trust stuff."

Rodgers' ex-girlfriend, Brittany Farrar, is apparently the girl Fletcher is referring to in the clip. Farrar had blasted the 27-year-old former pro quarterback on Twitter the night of The Bachelorette premiere, calling him a cheater, liar and fame-seeker.

Rodgers then swallows hard and begins to nod his head slowly in the preview clip while flashing a smirk on his face.

"You don't look happy," Fletcher notes.

"I just -- that's ugh," Rodgers blurts out before picking up his drink.

"Taking a sip," Fletcher laughs, clearly zoning in on the fact he was stalling.

"It's just interesting. Um, I don't know what to say there, because..." Rodgers says.

"You told me earlier today that you were ready now," Fletcher starts to say as Rodgers uncomfortably looks down at the table and runs his fingers through his hair, "for something serious, like a marriage."

"Yup," Rodgers states.

"But that you weren't before," Fletcher declares.

"Mhmm," Rodgers agrees.

"Why now?" Fletcher asks.

"Unfortunately it has a lot to with sports. I was focused on one thing in my life: being the best football player I could be. When I wasn't, that was tough and I took it out on people," Rodgers admits.

"Right," Fletcher says with understanding.

"So she was on the rollercoaster of when I was at my best and when I was at my worst. I will be the first to admit that I was awful. I wasn't the best person all the time," Rodgers confesses.

Fletcher than asks Rodgers, point blank: "Was there cheating?"

And the clip ends there!

According to a show insider, "Jordan cops to flirting with other women, but he denies he was unfaithful," Us Weekly reported in its latest issue, adding that Fletcher "chooses to believe Jordan" and "tunes out" the chatter.

"I get to know these guys in a personal way," Fletcher told the magazine last month, "and I make my opinions and base my feelings off of that. All these guys probably have people in their past."
