with a new daytime BBC One series, Watchdog Test House, which she co-presented with Sophie Raworth. Campaigning work In 2002, she co-founded the European Cancer Patient Coalition, which she chaired 2003–2010. She helped to set up MEPs Against Cancer and is credited with helping to get cancer on the official European Agenda. In 2009, she was invited to present the new European cancer plan – Action Against Cancer – in Brussels. In 2010, Faulds Wood said that she was considering entering politics by standing for the Parliament of the United Kingdom at the general election. Instead she remained as a health campaigner, still regularly appearing on television talking about cancer and consumer matters. She chaired the British Standards Institution Consumer and Public Interest Network until 2013, and served as President and Patron of many charities and health organisations, with an honorary doctorate for services to bowel cancer. Personal life While working as a teacher, Faulds Wood also worked in a pub in Richmond upon Thames. As a barmaid there she first met British journalist and television presenter John Stapleton; the couple married in 1977. Faulds Wood and her husband lived in St Margarets, London. In late December 2016, Faulds Wood claimed that she had declined the offer of an MBE in the New Year Honours. "I would love to have an honour if it didn't have the word 'empire' on the end of it. We don't have an empire, in my opinion," she told the Press Association. She did accept an honorary doctorate from Glasgow University of which she was already a graduate. A statement released by her family on 24 April 2020 said she had died after a stroke, aged 72.
