Divan supplied by the French male creating uproar (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bedlam

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

'divan supplied by the french male' is the wordplay.
'divan' becomes 'bed' (I've seen this before).
'supplied by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the french' becomes 'la' (one of the French words for 'the').
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'bed'+'la'+'m'='BEDLAM'

'creating' is the link.

(Other definitions for bedlam that I've seen before include "State of extreme confusion and uproar" , "Ambled (anag)" , "Blamed for pandemonium" , "Scene of uproar and disorder" , "Madhouse - uproar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
