In a case of art imitating life, Home and Away will screen a scandalous sex tape storyline later this month.

The storyline, in which a sex tape featuring Nicole (Tessa James) and Trey (Luke Bracey) is screened to the Summer Bay locals at the town's film festival, will be broadcast in Australia next week.

"Like all successful dramas, Home and Away tackles many issues and this is one of them," a spokeswoman told the Herald Sun.

News of the controversial storyline comes just days after the soap was rocked by a real-life sex tape scandal involving actor Lincoln Lewis.

Lewis, who admitted to filming an explicit act with an unidentified Australian teen starlet on his mobile phone before showing it to Home and Away cast and crew, was disciplined by Channel Seven and urged to undergo counselling.

OK now I want to know why it was filmed, I didint think nicole would do that

It was an accident. Nicole records a voice over for Jai's film on the camcorder. Trey comes in, they get distracted and Nicole forgets the tape is still running. A genuine mistake on her part, not sure about Trey

a bit like Ross and Rachel in Friends. !

It is an issue that happens especially with technology making it easier for people to ue things like this.
