Touch in place of switch

I have build this circuit that simply switches led's on in turn returning to the first....
The 555 acts to provide a steady non bounce imput to the 4017
I would like now to replace the push button input with a human finger touch to produce the same effect

This circuit (below) works (using output from 3) but is a bit erratic and does sometimes jump quickly depending on how much pressure is placed on the wire [TOUCH} input. So I am needing to know how to modify this 'front end' to achieve a stable pulse out . Any suggestions gratefully received
