Former BBC Watchdog presenter and campaigning journalist Lynn Faulds Wood has died at the age of 72.

A statement from her family said she died peacefully on Friday, "having suffered a massive stroke last night and a subsequent bleed on the brain".

The cancer campaigner was best known for hosting the consumer investigation programme from 1985 to 1993, alongside her husband John Stapleton.

She was diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer while working the show.

  Yes I have just heard. I saw her on BBC News 24 paper discussion only a few days ago. Sophie Raworth said that Lynn was out taking part in NHS clapping only yesterday.
