MODEL WARD: `LEDGER WAS CLEAN'

HEATH LEDGER started 2008 committed to sobriety after a wild end to 2007, according to the sister of his model girlfriend GEMMA WARD.

Australian stunner Sophie Ward reveals she spent Christmas (07) with the actor and admits he was one of the last people she expected to die in 2008.

In fact, Ward insists the Brokeback Mountain star was cleaner than most after committing to give up alcohol as a New Year's resolution.

She says, "He wasn't drinking any alcohol or taking drugs.

"He smoked cigarettes, but that's about it. He was drinking Diet Coke when we were together and he said he was very committed to not drinking alcohol."

And Ward is convinced drugs had nothing to do with Ledger's death on Tuesday (22Jan08), despite reports. She's also adamant the actor didn't commit suicide.

She adds, "He was clean and I don't believe he took his own life deliberately."

But the sister of Ledger's girlfriend admits the actor did seem on edge the last time they spoke: "He couldn't really relax... He said he was going to London but was quite upset because he couldn't see his daughter (Matilda) as much as he'd like to.

"He was travelling so much and I think he was just frustrated with it all."
