My iPhone7 is making random calls from my contact list. How do I stop this?

My iPhone 7 makes random calls from my contact list. They are not "pocket calls" or accidental calls. The phone sits on my desk and when I check later there are 4-5 calls made to numbers. No one has touched the phone.

I have cleared running apps, re-booted to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
