Callous lord cheated outrageously (4-7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cold-hearted

'callous' is the definition.
(both can mean cruel)

'lord cheated outrageously' is the wordplay.
'outrageously' indicates an anagram.
'lord'+'cheated'='lordcheated'
'lordcheated' is an anagram of 'COLD-HEARTED'.

(Other definitions for cold-hearted that I've seen before include "Unfeeling" , "Unkind" , "Indifferent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
