The 27-year-old Hamilton solo mum has got through her first few days of reading wacky news bulletins topless on Alt TV (Channel 65 on the Sky digital platform).
And it has now been revealed that she has been working as a $7000-a-night prostitute.
The Waikato Times reported she was moonlighting as perhaps one of New Zealand's most expensive hookers, advertising a range of services on adult website www.newzealandgirls.co.nz.
Alt TV publicist Michelle Lafferty said the station was aware of Ms Lewis' extra-curricular activities, but her newsreading contract was not in jeopardy.
"The jobs are absolutely separate," she said.
On the website, Ms Lewis' describes herself as "a Hamilton-based adult entertainer with a national and international profile", charging $200 an hour for her services.
But for a "full service escort" (industry code for sexual intercourse) the fee rises to is $2000 an hour, $7000 overnight or $10,000 a weekend with travel expenses extra.
"With my services the emphasis is on discretion as much for my needs as for yours," says Ms Lewis who has no qualms about using her real name and being clearly identified in a series of photos.
She calls herself a "hot, sexy, intimate, elegant 27-year-old with a reputation to protect".
