Green Party deputy leader Zach Polanski has admitted to using hypnosis to “enhance” women’s breasts in the past.
LBC’s Tom Swarbrick questioned Polanski about the practice after a 2013 Sun story resurfaced alleging that Polanski had been practising it at a Harley Street hypnotherapy clinic.
During the 90-minute session, which reportedly cost £222, the women were instructed to imagine themselves with enlarged breasts.
Polanski apologized Wednesday for his past actions and said he never believed in them.
“It’s not representative of my work, and it’s not representative of me.”
Polanski added that he has never charged anyone for the service.

He said: “You shouldn’t believe what you read in the Sun.”
“As most of our listeners know, The Sun always writes fantastic and extraordinary stories.
“That was 11 years ago. I wasn’t involved in politics at all.”
The deputy leader said he had “diverse life experiences” before entering politics, adding that he had also been a bartender, waiter, nightclub doorman and actor.
He also said he apologized the day after the article was published.
“I realized it could cause offense to people and I have apologized,” he said.

In the same interview, Mr Polanski also spoke of a “conspiracy of silence” between Labour and the Conservative parties over where money for public spending comes from.
“They’re talking about moving small amounts of money around. The Greens want to get big amounts of money from the wealthiest people in society, that’s why they’re proposing a wealth tax.”
He also spoke about the importance of net zero.
“Net zero will permeate every sector of the economy. On public transport, it’s sometimes cheaper to drive in London than to take public transport. And that’s repeated across the country. We want to stop that.”
“We want to insulate every home in the UK, so that energy bills go down, emissions go down and good green jobs are created. That’s the future the Green Party proposes.”
Zach Polansky joined the Green Party in 2017.
