Kate Hemingway

After working for 20 years in national TV and radio, achieving 20 million views on one story, I've learned that with hard work and self-belief, you can be anything you want to be.

Kate Hemingway is an award-winning journalist, broadcaster and media consultant with over 20 years' experience across national and regional TV and radio.

A fearless interviewer, her investigative work includes a 20-million-view loan shark interview for Bank of Dave's Dave Fishwick, tracking down a mobile phone stealing gang leader, exposing nude AI tools and frontline reporting from inside five hospital wards during the Covid-19 lockdown. She's trusted with the most sensitive stories - bereaved relatives, high-profile talent and difficult case studies.

Kate founded Kate Hemingway Media Limited in 2026 and still freelances as a senior producer and on-screen correspondent for ITV's Good Morning Britain. She now offers storytelling videos, media consultation and training for businesses - and, as a CET Level 4 qualified teacher, speaks regularly in colleges and at business events.

Growing up in Great Yarmouth as the daughter of a window cleaner, Kate knows first-hand that background never decides how far you can go - a belief that now shapes everything she brings into classrooms and lecture halls. Whether she's helping pupils find their voice in front of a camera or teaching business leaders how to tell their story, her message is the same: real confidence is discovered, not performed.

She also hosts branded podcasts for businesses and launched her own podcast, Kate Confidential, in 2026.

Testimonials from Teachers

"Kate has given careers talks in our college for the past three years and they've always been the best attended sessions of the week. Students praise Kate for her honestly and openness about her media career. They're also fascinated when she tells them about her investigations into active loan sharks and 'mobile phone stealing gang leaders' (and when they watch the related videos). Kate is a confident and insightful speaker with pace and energy. Would highly recommend."

– Pippa Pennington, Sociology Lecturer Greenhead College, Huddersfield

"A huge thank you Kate, what a great session! I know for a fact that this will have helped many people in the room today." (session on Imposter Syndrome)

– Gail Glover, ADVENTURE Business Manager, Wakefield Council

"A huge thank you for giving up your time to come to College to talk to our students as part of our 'Step into your Future week', we were so grateful. The session went down really well with students saying it was really interesting to see how you built your career and how they wouldn't have considered TV until they spoke to you. We would love to welcome you back to the college in future.''

– Claire Barnes, Placement Manager, Greenhead College, Huddersfield
