Zack Polanski's claim to have immediately apologised for saying that hypnosis could increase a woman's breast size has been thrown into doubt by a newly unearthed interview.
Before entering politics, the Green Party leader worked as a hypnotherapist and offered a session in 2013 to enlarge a newspaper reporter's bust.
Polanski has since said he was misrepresented and never believed it was possible, claiming he spoke to the BBC the day after the article to apologise.
BBC News cannot find evidence of such an interview, but six days later he spoke to Radio Humberside to stand by the theory saying "the evidence is growing".
This contradicts claims Polanski has made since becoming leader of the Green Party.
A Green Party source said: "Zack has repeatedly apologised for an interview he did with the Sun more than a decade ago. Now, Zack is focussed on the issues that really matter to people: bringing down bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services."
