The leader of the Squirrel Club, who appears on Cbeebies daily, visited Drusillas Park, giving out his famous ‘Duggee Hugs’ to fans during the Easter Holidays.

He was so popular that the park has invited him back to share some more hugs with fans during the summer holidays and will be welcoming him back on August 8.
