Dieting furiously getting fired up (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ignited

'fired up' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'dieting furiously' is the wordplay.
'furiously' is an anagram indicator.
'dieting' is an anagram of 'IGNITED'.

'getting' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ignited that I've seen before include "Set on fire" , "Sparked off" , "Gin diet (anag.)" , "fired" , "Caught fire" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
