BBC presenter's 'perfect hug' goes wrong

BBC World News’ Victoria Fritz spoke to Samantha Hess, a professional cuddling expert, to find out some top tips on how to hug.
Fritz used a cut out of BBC weather presenter Carol Kirkwood to try out her hugging technique and stay Covid-19 safe, but things did not go completely to plan.
