New Green Party leader apologises over 2013 hypnotherapy enhancement he said was ‘a lot cheaper than a boob job’
Zack Polanski has apologised for claiming to have been able to help women increase the size of their breasts using his mind.
The newly elected Green Party leader, while previously working as a hypnotherapist, offered a session to increase an undercover newspaper reporter's breast size and improve her body image.
And, asked about the claims following his landslide leadership win, Mr Polanski said “I apologised for that 12 years ago,” before apologising again.
Asked if voters could trust him in light of the claims, he told BBC Breakfast: “Well, it’s never for a politician to say ‘trust me’.
“But what I would say is, I apologise, well, I apologised for that 12 years ago, and one of my favourite politicians, Tony Benn, often said, ‘I don’t care where you came from, I care where you're going’.

'I don't necessarily need sex – just emotional proximity'
If you had shown me a snapshot of our relationship now, back when we first met, I would not have imagined in a million years that this is how we would be living. But I am trying not to regret anything. We have two lovely children and they are happy, and that is worth a lot. I try to concentrate on how rewarding and enriching my relationship with them is - rather than on my marriage.
