Crossword Genius

Cheers actress in backstreet (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alley

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'cheers actress' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'backstreet' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for alley that I've seen before include "Walk" , "space in US court" , "garden path" , "Narrow passageway" , "Bowling lane" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
