‘Rumours about me joining Big Brother,’ Lincoln, who played Casey Braxton in the popular soap, wrote in black-and-white. ‘No. Not True. Would never.’

‘Now, back to news that actually matters,’ he added, sharing a screenshot showing the devastating number of people working in the arts industry who have been affected by Australia’s lockdown.

In April, a network insider claimed to Woman’s Day that producers had their sights set on several big names to join this year’s line-up, including Lincoln and radio star Ash Pollard.
