THE TATER TOT

Boy of 8 sees therapist to cure his addiction to baked potatoes

- BY NATHAN PYNN

A FUSSY eater's diet became a real hot potato when he would only eat jacket potatoes with cheese and beans.

Lennie Sartin’s insistence on eating the same thing time and again drove his parents, Kayleigh and Lewis, to the brink.

From the age of 18 months, Lennie stopped trying anything new and the mere thought of eating fruit or veg would make him nauseous or physically sick.

Eight-year-old Lennie is thought to have munched his way through 2,500 baked spuds to date.

But in a bid to get him to eat something else, desperate Kayleigh turned to cognitive behavioural hypnotherapist David Kilmurry.

She says the change in Lennie since has been nothing short of incredible - because after just one two-hour hypnotherapy session, the lad tucked in to summer fruits for the first time.
