Lynn Faulds Wood

Lynn Faulds Wood (born 25 March 1948, Glasgow, Scotland), is a British television presenter.

Brought up on Loch Lomondside, she first came to prominence on consumer items on the breakfast television programmes TV-am and "BBC Breakfast Time". She is most famous for presenting "Watchdog" from 1985 until 1993, alongside her husband John Stapleton, on which she would use the phrase "potential deathtrap" numerous times leading to parody. From 2003 she has been the consumer reporter on GMTV. She has survived both bowel and skin cancer.

She has a son, Nicholas James Stapleton (born Hammersmith, London, 1987). [ [http://www.findmypast.com Births England and Wales 1984-2006] ]

In 2006 she teamed up with Esther Rantzen to present the BBC consumer investigation series "Old Dogs, New Tricks". When the series was broadcast they had around 70 years of television journalism between them.
