Angel making singer turn British (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cherub

'angel' is the definition.
(I know that cherub is a type of angel)

'singer turn british' is the wordplay.
'singer' becomes 'cher' (Cher is a US musician).
'turn' becomes 'u' (a 'U-turn' is a kind of turn).
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'cher'+'u'+'b'='CHERUB'

'making' is the link.

(Other definitions for cherub that I've seen before include "Lovely child" , "A heavenly baby" , "Innocent youngster" , "Baby angel" , "Angelic child" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
