Home And Away star Lincoln Lewis is continuing to wow fans and experts alike during his run on the Australian version of Dancing With The Stars. This weekend, he and dance partner Luda Kroitor scored 23 with their quickstep, which the judges said they enjoyed, and described Lincoln as being "really charged". Judge Todd McKenney even claimed it was the best dance the couple had done. Making the night even more special was the fact that Lincoln's parents and grandparents were in the studio audience. His grandparents hadn't been on a plane for 35 years, but made the journey from Melbourne just to see him in action. The actor, who plays Geoff Campbell in the soap, is hoping to raise money for the RSPCA during his stint on Dancing With The Stars. The programme is hosted by ex-Neighbours star Daniel Macpherson, and has been won by several Home And Away stars in the past. Bec Cartwright (Hayley) was the first series winner in 2004, followed by Ada Nicodemou (Leah) in 2005 and Luke Jacobz (Angelo) in 2008.
