Harper Murray has ambitious plans.

Nebraska Cornhuskers volleyball star Harper Murray is attacking opportunities like she attacks the ball. Coming off a remarkable 2025 season, Murray isn’t stopping anytime soon.

Besides her notable performances on the court, Murray often turns heads with her off-court appearances. Nearly a year ago, she showed off her modeling potential in a photoshoot that drew a lot of attention from fans.

She hasn’t stopped stunning fans with her looks, and on Saturday, Murray raised the bar. She posted a racy audition for one of the biggest issues for female models and athletes.

On Saturday afternoon, Murray shared a couple of pictures with her best friend and teammate, Andi Jackson. The caption was a direct pitch to Sports Illustrated.

“@si_swimsuit big fans btw,” she wrote.

Murray could join other college stars if she got the chance to pose for the issue. Former LSU star Olivia Dunne did it, turning a lot of heads. Murray earned AVCA All-America and All-Big Ten First Team honors in 2025. She led her team with a career-best 3.54 kills per set. She finished the season as the 19th all-time in school history in kills.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’

She told how her health scare has changed her outlook and said she has been seeking comfort from Davina.
