Right folks, as Chico would say, It's HugWatch Time!

(Improvise some kind of tune) Every one needs a hug once in a while, a hug can do wonders! (Insert one of those traiangle instrument things!)When your feeling down a hug is all you need. So hug hug hug until your arms drop off...

Give me an H! H!
Give me a U! U!
Give me a G! G!
Give me a W! W!
Give me an A! A!
Give me a T! T!
Give me a C! C!
Give me an H! H!

What does that spell? HugWatch!

WOW, it was another round of the HugWatch Stakes with a difference! Yes, Jack was the first to arrive at the Pound Table but he only shook Alex's hand and put his hand on Alex's shoulder, so he ISN'T today's King of HugWatch.

Instead, the HugWatch Crown goes to the West Wing's resident Northern Irish Gal Amy-Lee, as she was the first to dish out a hug. There were then further hugs from Andrew, Bindya, Debbie, Rachel and Susan. Now, let's see what the Leader Board looks like:

Sunday 4th February: Richard
Monday 5th February: Jack
Tuesday 6th February: Jack
Wednesday 7th February: Kay
Thursday 8th February: Amy-Lee

Will Jack dish out a hug in tomorrow's Stakes? Will Kay or Amy-Lee be crowned HugWatch Queen once more? Will the competition for the crown continue to hot up? Find out in what I hope will be an equally thrilling edition of HugWatch....

After having a very disappointing game, Gloria was in need of a few hugs and the West Wingers and East Wing Gang did oblige. Jack casually strolled from the West Wing and was the first to give Gloria a well-deserved hug.

Tim closely followed and there were then hugs from Richard, Amy-Lee, Kay, Susan, Adrian, Bindya and Rachel, who hugged Gloria just before the credits rolled to an end.

Here's a week of HugWatch summed up by the Leader Board:

Sunday 4th February: Richard

Aww, it was such a shame Andrew only won £10 at the end of a 31-show run, so it was not surprising that there was a mad rush to give him a hug after the LTL. Yes, Kay sprinted at the speed of light and was the first to hug Andrew! Tim and Amy-Lee closely followed and there were then hugs from the likes of Susan, Rachel, Debbie and Rose.

Will Kay be speedy enough to win the HugWatch Crown again? Will Jack be King of HugWatch once more? Will Debbie, Amy-Lee, Susan, Paul or Tony be victorious? Find out in what I hope will be another thrilling instalment of HugWatch complete with the first Leader Board of the week....

WOAH, what a difference a day makes! Not only did Richard win £35,000, there weren't a great deal of hugs viewable to us HugWatchers. Susan raced to the Pound Table and was the first to give Richard a hug and there were then hugs from Tim, Chantelle and Rose. After that, you couldn't see if Richard was given any more hugs cause some of the East Wing Gang were in the way!

Anyway, here's the HugWatch Leader Board:

Sunday 11th February: Kay
Monday 12th February: Susan

Will Susan be crowned HugWatch Queen for a second time? Will Jack or Kay beat her to it? Will Amy-Lee win the Crown again? Find out in Tuesday's HugWatch report....

Even though Tony became the 9th member of the 1p Club today, there wasn't a huge rush to give him a hug. That said, Kay raced from the East Wing and was the first to hug Tony. There were then hugs from Susan, Georgina, Bindya and Mary - OOOOOH AAARRRGH!

Hello Noel's Lady06 and welcome to the HugWatch gang! HugWatch is all about the hugs at the end of the show following the LTL and a King or Queen of HugWatch is whoever is the first to arrive at the Pound Table and give the first hug.

Sometimes, a HugWatch King/Queen is someone who gives the best hug of the day when the first hug was a bit crap. Anyway, here's Friday's report:

(Improvise some kind of tune) Every one needs a hug once in a while, a hug can do wonders! (Insert one of those traiangle instrument things!)When your feeling down a hug is all you need. So hug hug hug until your arms drop off...

OOOOOH AAARRRGGGH! At the end of Mary's game, there was a mad, mad rush to give her a hug. OOOOOH AAARRRGGGH!

He was closely followed by East Wing Gang member Susan and there were then hugs from the likes of Rose, Julian, Paul, Amy-Lee and Kay to name but a few.

At the end of Rachel's magnificent show with one of the best turnarounds, Jayne rushed to the Pound Table jumping up and down in excitement and was the first to give Rachel a hug. She was closely followed by fellow East Wing Gang Member Kay who dished out lots of advice to Rachel during the course of the show. There were then hugs from the likes of Rose, Sarah, Brian and Betty, who dished hers out just before the credits rolled to an end.

It was a round of the HugWatch Stakes with a difference today. Yes, Jayne was the first to arrive at the Pound Table, but she only gave Bindya a kiss and didn't hug her. She is therefore not today's Queen of HugWatch, so Kay wins today as she was the first to hug Bindya aka Geoff.

There were then hugs from the likes of Rose, Lee, Amy-Lee, Chantelle, Julian, Jack and Debbie. Like yesterday, there were a few more hugs but we couldn't see who was dishing them out due to crap camera angles and members of the West and East Wings standing in the way.

AAAARRRGGH! Here's the Leader Board:

Sunday 18th February: Jayne
Monday 19th February: Jayne
Tuesday 20th February: Jayne
Wednesday 21st February: Kay

Will Kay win the Hug Race again? Will Jayne win the title of HugWatch Queen once more? Will Jack be crowned King of HugWatch for another time? Find out the answers to these questions and more in the next edition of HugWatch....
