Spencer’s got a habit that’s even more annoying than he is. Spencer Pratt is considering hypnosis to cure him of his nasty nail-biting habit. The Hills star regularly chews and gnaws at his nails with his teeth and fingers, a friend of the twenty-four year old reveals to In Touch Weekly.

“He hates the fact that he ruins his nails. He does it without even knowing it,” the pal says.

Spence was encouraged to try hynosis as a potential treatment for condition after a friend successfully used the method to quit smoking.

“Spencer cares a lot about his appearance and he’s determined to stop.”
