A company are offering PS30 an hour to be a professional cuddler. A corporate events company has launched the world's first team building event based on embracing, and they need keen huggers to run the sessions.

The 'Cuddle a Co-Worker' workshops, which are run by Team Tactics, are meant to endorse bonding between co-workers and stress relief, as hugging promotes the release of happiness hormones Serotonin and Oxytocin.

The sessions will take place in a purpose built relaxation tent, which is inspired by Moroccan and Indian relaxation practices.

A man called the police because he was being chased by a baby squirrel.

The German male had to be rescued as he was being pursued by the tiny animal, which was still chasing him when officers arrived.

Police said on Twitter the man told them: "Help, I'm being pursued by a squirrel."

A spokeswoman for cops said that squirrels that have lost their mothers often focus on a person as a replacement.

Once the police had apprehended the baby animal, it fell asleep.

The squirrel has been named Karl-Friedrich, and has become the team's new mascot, however has gone to live in an animal rescue centre where it is being well looked after.

A girl convinced a boy on Tinder that they had the same number so she didn't have to text him anymore.

In the hilarious incident, the Twitter user claims to have made her match believe they were using the same digits to communicate on the dating app.

Upon offering his number, the woman replied:"Wait wtf...that's my number." The man, in disbelief responded: "That's impossible...Call that number right now."

The two went back and forth and the woman explained that when she tried to call him, it simply wouldn't let her and made her put in her voicemail password.

The pair then came to the decision that their identical provider had somehow made a mistake and given them the same number.

A deadly black widow spider was found lurking in crates in Scotland.

The poisonous beast was spotted in boxes near Aberdeenshire, after the cheeky arachnid had travelled from across the Atlantic.

The creature had to be killed as it could not be "re-homed" safely.

Black widow spider venom is 15 times stronger than that of a rattlesnake and can cause cramps and fever, but their bites are rarely fatal as they only release small amounts of poison at a time.

Scottish SPCA chief superintendent Mike Flynn said: "There is nowhere in Scotland to safely re-home it, and we could not keep it in our centre due to severe health and safety concerns."
