Overview
- Audio from a BBC Radio Humberside interview on 18 June 2013 captures Zack Polanski, then a hypnotherapist, citing anecdotal evidence of breast growth and calling his work with a Sun journalist a successful project.
- Pressed on the point in that interview, he said he believed such growth could happen in theory and noted he was not charging for breast enhancement at the time.
- Polanski has repeatedly told broadcasters since entering frontline politics that he was misrepresented by The Sun’s 2013 article and that he apologised the next day.
- Reports say the BBC could not find evidence of a next-day apology, while the resurfaced interview shows him appearing to defend the idea days after the article.
- Labour sources are using the clip to attack his credibility, as Green Party spokespeople say he has already apologised and is concentrating on policy priorities.
