And on this day dedicated to hugs,  Goldsmiths University London have  teamed up with the BBC to conduct a worldwide  survey asking a range of questions about how important touch is to people, how much they need it, and how comfortable they are with physical contact.

Ivan was joined by Judi James Body Language Expert and our very own Tech Correspondent Jess Kelly to discuss how they feel about the importance of touch.
