To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen, who was caught a month ago cheating on his wife with a young blonde television reporter, has also secretly been dating a Las Vegas stripper, it has been reported.
The married NBC anchor, 52, who made his name with a controversial show that catches would-be internet sex perverts, was secretly filmed on an illicit date with 30-year-old Kristyn Caddell in late June.
And now it appears he was also cheating on his mistress, with revelations that Hansen was also for six months secretly dating petite blonde Kathleen Collins, a stripper and aspiring country singer.
Miss Collins was said to have been shocked when she found out - through the press - that her married lover, who lives with his wife Mary, 53, and their sons in Connecticut, had also been sleeping with another woman.
A friend told the Enquirer: 'I know this sounds crazy, but Kathleen really thought she was the only one.'
She is then alleged to have told her friend: 'Chris cheated on me just like he cheated on his wife.'
Miss Collins is said to have been told by the high profile television anchor that he had separated from his wife and was set to get a divorce.
'Kathleen feels like she's been used and betrayed - Chris definitely broke her heart,' the source told the Enquirer.
The magazine claims to have seen pictures of the two embracing in Las Vegas and read text messages and emails sent by Hansen to Miss Collins from his official NBC Universal address.
Hansen has worked for NBC for two decades, but became famous with his controversial Dateline series To Catch a Predator
.The show's producers work with online watchdog (vigilantes) Perverted-Justice, whose volunteers pose as underage girls offering sex on the internet.
But when they arrive to meet the girls, they find themselves confronted by Hansen, his film crew and sometimes the police.
The anchor, however, got a taste of his own medicine when he was secretly filmed in a romantic tryst with TV reporter Miss Caddell at the Ritz-Carlton in Florida.
According to the Enquirer, he took her for a romantic dinner before spending the night at her palm beach apartment.
Secret cameras filmed the couple as they arrived at the hotel for dinner and then drove back to her apartment - where the pair left, carrying luggage, at 8am the following day.
