Danger host represented, being self-willed (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

headstrong

'self-willed' is the definition.
(I know that self-willed can be written as headstrong)

'danger host represented' is the wordplay.
'represented' is an anagram indicator.
'danger'+'host'='dangerhost'
'dangerhost' with letters rearranged gives 'HEADSTRONG'.

'being' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for headstrong that I've seen before include "pig-headed" , "Obstinately rash" , "Wilfully determined" , "Wilful, determined" , "strong-willed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
