Daniel Hewitt is Investigations Editor for ITV News and has spent the last five years reporting on the frontline in Britain's housing crisis.

His investigations on social housing have led to a change in the law, and he has twice given evidence to MPs in Parliament on his reporting. His work has directly led to six independent inquiries and investigations by the UK Parliament, Welsh Government, Regulator for Social Housing, Housing Ombudsman for England, National Housing Federation and the Chartered Institute for Housing.

He was named Royal Television Society Specialist Journalist of the Year in 2022 and 2024 for his work on housing and homelessness. His work on hidden homelessness was also awarded the Royal Television Society award for best Home News Coverage in 2024. He has been nominated for the Orwell Prize four times for his reporting and produced and presented the Radio Academy award-winning podcast The Trapped.

Daniel has presented four ITV documentaries on the subject, including the award-winning Surviving Squalor: Britain's Housing Shame and Life and Debt: Stories from the Edge.

Previously he worked as a political correspondent, and has interviewed five Prime Ministers including Boris Johnson, Theresa May, and Sir Keir Starmer.
