LBC’s Tom Swarbrick asked Mr Polanski about the practice after an article by The Sun from 2013 resurfaced about him performing the practice at a hypnotherapy clinic on Harley Street.

In the 90-minute sessions allegedly costing £222, women were told to visualise themselves with bigger breasts.

On Wednesday, Mr Polanski apologised for his past actions and said he never believed them.

“It does not represent my work, it does not represent me.”

Mr Polanski added he never charged for the service.

    this reads to me like a bad joke, not a serious attempt at breast-enlargement hypnotism.

    He was working out of a Harley Street clinic (the most prestigious location for private health care in the country) and charging for the service, which he freely admits. I’d assume they offered the standard range of treatments for phobias, addictions, etc too. There’s no reason to suggest i’s a joke.

    If we start retroactively cancelling people for things they said decades ago

    Nobody is suggesting they cancel him. It’s more that everyone is having a laugh at his expense for peddling pseudoscience (also it involves boobs, which makes it funnier) and then we’ll move on, with this just being a colourful footnote in his Wikipedia entry.
