Home And Away star Lincoln Lewis has denied suggestions of a drug problem on the soap's set. The show hit the headlines when Todd Lasance (Aden Jefferies) was slapped with a cocaine possession charge, Lincoln (Geoff Campbell) admitted to making a sex tape and police found Jodi Gordon (Martha Mackenzie) cowering in the bedroom of an alleged gangster. Addressing recent allegations of drug problems on the show, Lincoln told the Herald Sun: "It's absolutely nothing like that - it's unbelievable how c**p that is." Lincoln said he has learned his lessons from his own brush with scandal, and that he rarely drinks. "I have learnt my lesson in terms of waking up. You learn from your mistakes, that's just part of growing up. "After all that, I just don't go out and party unless it's with my mates. And I don't drink unless there's a special occasion. "I've really tried to hang on to the friends I had before I got on television because they are the ones who are not afraid to tell me when I'm being a d***head." The 22-year-old, who has filmed his last scenes for the show, admitting he is sad to be leaving but that it is time to move on.
