Child star on the radio? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

son

'child' is the definition.
(male child)

'star on the radio?' is the wordplay.
'star' becomes 'sun' (the Sun is a star).
'on the radio?' shows a homophone (sound like) (I've seen 'on the radio' mean this).
'sun' is a homophone of 'SON'.

(Other definitions for son that I've seen before include "Human offspring" , "A relative" , "Male offspring" , "Male child" , "The kind of child" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
