Lincoln Lewis vows to bring ‘positivity’ to his family by competing on Dancing With The Stars reboot – following his parents’ heartbreaking split

Lincoln Lewis is gearing up to appear on Channel Seven’s Dancing With The Stars all-stars reboot this year. 

And on Sunday, the Home And Away star, 33, shared the heartwarming reason why he chose to return to the franchise 12 years after his first stint on the program. 

Speaking to the Courier Mail on Sunday, the actor said he hoped to bring joy to his young nephews, following the recent breakdown of his parents’ marriage.  

Family first: Lincoln Lewis, 33, has revealed his goal of bringing ‘positivity’ to his family by competing on Dancing With The Stars reboot, following his  his parents’ devastating split

‘When they asked me I wasn’t sure because I’m not the most naturally gifted dancer, but the main reason for me right now is because I’ve got nephews and when I first did it I didn’t.’  

Lincoln said he was ‘really looking forward’ to having his mother, sister, brother, sister-in-law and nephews watch him compete on the dancefloor. 

‘It’s a really cool thing when [my nephews] get a kick out of seeing Uncle Linc on TV and listening to their dad (Mitch Lewis) on the radio, so if I can do something that’s fun and high energy and positive that they can watch, then that really got me.

Lincoln made no mention of his father, NRL legend Wally ‘The King’ Lewis, 61, with whom he is reportedly not on good terms.  

However, the hunk did admit that his life isn’t as rosy as it may appear on Instagram. 

‘I’m always trying to put out as much positivity and energy as I can, but that’s not to say that behind closed doors we don’t struggle no matter how much we might filter something,’ he said.

Lincoln’s father Wally rocked the sporting world in early February when he confirmed his separation from Jacqui, the mother of his three children. 

At the time, Wally released a statement revealing he quietly split from his wife-of-36-years last year, and was now in a new relationship.

‘This is a deeply personal matter that we do not want to discuss publicly,’ he said.

‘I want to acknowledge the pain and upset my family has gone through since Jacqui and I separated last year. I hope over time we can rebuild our ties and move on with life… I will confirm I am now in another relationship and only ask for the media to respect our privacy.’ 

It later emerged he was in a new relationship with Lynda Adams – the former wife of a wealthy Townsville developer Mark Adams.

The breakdown of the marriage allegedly resulted in a strained relationship between Wally and his children – Mitchell, Lincoln and Jamie-Lee. 

It is understood he has made unsuccessful attempts to reconcile with his three children, according to the Courier Mail
