Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever took care of the Atlanta Dream on Friday night in large part because of Sophie Cunningham.

Cunningham had 16 points and 10 rebounds in the Fever’s 99-82 win. She made four attempts from beyond the arc, proving she’s capable of lighting up the boxscore. What made her performance so impressive is that it came roughly 24 hours after she put the Fever on notice for their lack of consistency this season.

“We’re running out of time to be honest and I think that it’s going to light a fire under our butts, so hopefully you’re going to see that energy shift tomorrow,” Cunningham said on Thursday. “We have really good spurts, but it’s just…why are we not being consistent? Why are we not clicking when we need to click? Why do we get low when they go on a run?”

Following the Fever’s victory over the Dream, Cunningham had nothing but good things to say about her teammates.

“I really do think this is a really unique and special team,” Cunningham said. “In the locker room, we really do love each other. We love spending time together.”

On Saturday morning, Clark showed Cunningham some appreciation on Instagram.

Clark reposted a video that said, “Sophie Cunningham was electric in our dub over the Dream last night, recording her first double-double of the season with 16 PTS, 10 REB, and 4 3PM.”

In addition to reposting that video, Clark used this word to describe Cunningham: “Dawg.”

Suffice to say, Clark and Cunningham have developed a nice bond on and off the hardwood this season.

The Fever will return to action Sunday to face the Dallas Wings.

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

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!’
