Exaggerate 'Lioness eats Ian' when broadcast (14)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sensationalise

'exaggerate' is the definition.

'lioness eats ian when broadcast' is the wordplay.
'when broadcast' indicates an anagram (broadcast can mean disperse or spread).
'lioness'+'eats'+'ian'='lionesseatsian'
'lionesseatsian' anagrammed gives 'SENSATIONALISE'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
