Casts bread out; gets ham instead (3,7)
I believe the answer is:
bad actress
'ham instead' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'casts bread out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'casts'+'bread'='castsbread'
'castsbread' with letters rearranged gives 'BAD ACTRESS'.
'gets' acts as a link.
