Who would you like to hug?

joanlawson

According to research conducted by Nivea, the average Brit enjoys 13 hugs every day, with 9.5 seconds devoted to each embrace.

That means that over a month we spend more than an hour hugging.

If given the chance to hug anyone, apart from family, these were the most popular people chosen in the survey:

Most huggable male celebs

David Beckham
George Clooney
Dermot O'Leary
Gary Barlow
Robbie Williams

Most huggable female celebs

Holly Willoughby
Cheryl Cole
Lorraine Kelly
Kate Middleton
Nigella Lawson

To me, you can never have too many hugs in your life.

Who would you like to hug ( apart from family ) if you got the chance :?:

Joan

Sir David Attenburgh for giving us all so much pleasure with his fasinating nature series and his sheer delight in everything he sees.

Forget the celebs for me. Best hugger I know is my old mate, Colin. He hugs like he means it. I dislike airy fairy hugs.

Hi Cris
Nelson Mandela is a good choice. He went for 27 years in prison without a single hug from anyone. Can you imagine how he kept sane in all that time without human affection :?:

Tommy is going to the vet tomorrow to have his teeth cleaned, and possibly some extractions, so he will need lots of hugs after that!
A big hug to you, Cris (((((( )))))))

That's very sad for you, Tone. I hope that you will get the chance to give him a hug at some time soon.
In the meantime, here's a big hug from me ((((((( ))))))))

Val, I would love to give both you and Trisher a big hug. You are both lovely people who I'm so pleased to have met on here. ((((((( )))))))

Daylily, I totally agree about David Attenborough. He really does deserve a big hug. He's opened our eyes to the wonders of nature so brilliantly.
Here's a hug from me to you ((((((( ))))))))

Sticky, I'm with you on disliking fairy hugs. You have to hug as though you mean it, or else you might as well not bother.
Here's a big bear hug for you (((((( )))))))

Mell, Kylie in your dreams Here's one from me to you ((((((( ))))))))

Del, ditto Cameron Diaz A hug from me to you (((((((( ))))))))

I would like to hug David Hockney, the artist. I've always admired his work, and he is a fascinating person.

It's my birthday today, so I'm in a huggy mood
Here's a special birthday hug for all my friends on here. I love you all

hi birthday girl Joan,

i have his autobiography and he is one hell of a guy..... shame about his first wife mind :shock:

i was trying to work out a back up if he wasn't available and i can't think of one in the sense you meant. i do think Daylilly's could be a decent back up or your George Cloney but first off def Nelson Mandela (sorry Mell ) Cris xx

Hello Joan,

In no particular order

You, Lindalegs and Dream Daisy.

I'd also shake hands with rehab44.

cloud9

It's not a celebrity. It's a chap from San Francisco who I met on the Adults/teens with clubfoot page on facebook. He has the same disability as me and I have struck up a friendship with him. I've been having some pretty low, difficult times lately and he's always there, night or day to listen. I adore him and wish I could have a real hug rather than the cyber hugs we've got used to. He's married, as am I and it's just a genuine and lovely friendship! His name there is Willy Kiyotte but his fantastic real name is Notumbus Bumbus!!!! He looks just like Father Christmas!

dreamdaisy

Ichabod! :shock: Really? Wow. :oops:

I was going to put that I am completely happy with just hugging Mr DD ('cos I am) but in truth the list is a long-ish one as it includes quite a few from here as well as other people I know. As for Mr Ichabod and me - well, why stop at one? DD
