Act it badly in the loft (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

attic

'the loft' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'act it badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' is an anagram indicator.
'act'+'it'='actit'
'actit' is an anagram of 'ATTIC'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for attic that I've seen before include "Floor" , "Classically elegant" , "Top storey" , "Ancient Greek; loft" , "High level of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
