"I am absolutely panicked for them" - Justin Verlander's wife Kate Upton talks about her new role as reality show host after years on the runway

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander's supermodel wife Kate Upton is all set to become a show host on a reality TV show years after being a contestant on fashion shows. The show titled 'Dress My Tour' will air on Hulu on July 23.

Apart from Upton, there will be two more judges on the panel: Marina Toybina, a seven-time Emmy Award-winning costume designer, and choreographer-director Laurieann Gibson, who will all mentor and judge the contestants.

In an exclusive interview, Kate Upton discussed the show and how she felt about being on the other side of the runway:

"Totally, I am absolutely panicked for them (contestants). It's really fun because in this show they have this performance element to it. So, its not models walking down on a runway.

"We have Laurieann Gibson who is an amazing choreographer, who is choreographing these dances and dancers are showing these outfits on the stage. So, this musician really sees it how they would wear this outfit."

Take a look at the video of the interview here:

While Upton is excelling in her domain, Justin Verlander has struggled this season with the Astros. His continued time on the IL is dimming his chances of a contract renewal next year.

Verlander missed the first month of the season due to an injury to his pitching elbow. Since making his 11th start on July 9, he has been back on the IL due to a sore neck. Only time will tell when the three-time Cy Young Award-winning veteran pitcher makes a comeback to the Astros bullpen this campaign.

Besides his onfield glory, Justin Verlander has been highly supportive of Kate Upton's fashion and acting career. Being a judge on a fashion show is another stepping stone in Upton's modeling career spanning nearly two decades.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, model Kate Upton voiced her excitement about the show:

"I’m so excited for the world to see this show — what’s not to love with both music and fashion.

"It will give fans a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into the glamourous onstage styles we see from our favorite music stars. I was in awe with the looks that they were able to create, especially with all the twists and turns we threw their way."

There will be 11 aspiring fashion designers competing for the $100,000 prize money and a shot at glory to become one of the leading fashion designers in the highly competitive industry.
