MURRAY'S GIRL: I'LL BE SMASH HIT AS ACTOR
THE girlfriend of tennis star Andy Murray has revealed she wants to become an actress.
Kim Sears, 19, has applied for a place at London's Central School of Speech and Drama.
Its famous former students include Bond star Dame Judi Dench and ex-Doctor Who Christopher Eccleston.
Kim said: "I have my auditions coming up now, just after Christmas."
Since leaving the £18,000-a-year Burgess Hill School for Girls in Sussex, Kim has attended tennis events around the world with Murray.
She said: "I have made time to watch Andy play some tennis, but I am on a gap year so I'm not just following him around.

"I have plans of my own and I am looking forward to drama school."
Kim spoke as she accompanied Murray, 19, on a trip to Stirling, where he opened a £1.3million extension to the Scottish National Tennis Centre at the city's university.
The pair have just returned from Florida, where they got away from tennis by swimming with dolphins, jet-skiing and watching basketball.
It was Andy's first holiday from his sport since he was 12.
He returned refreshed to lead a Scotland team, including brother Jamie, to victory against England in the Aberdeen Cup at the weekend at the city's AECC.
Kim said: "I am from Sussex, but I was supporting Scotland, not England.
"But it is a bit harder to decide where my allegiances lie when Andy and Jamie are not playing though."
