I believe he (Wakeman) talks about it in a Mellotron documentary he was in.

Sounds like the 1998 BBC radio one - I have a tape somewhere. No idea if it was bullshit, though.

I don’t know if it is true but he certainly has distanced himself from the instrument

Well, I had a quick chat with him at The Strawbs' 40th bash (I was essentially dared) and he was perfectly pleasant and made a joke about a can of petrol (gas) and a lighter... He VERY conspicuously avoided the Mellotrons on stage, though!
