Exclusive ladle (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scoop

This clue is a double definition.

'exclusive' is the first definition.
(as in a newspaper scoop)

'ladle' is the second definition.
(I know that scoop is a type of ladle)

(Other definitions for scoop that I've seen before include "Type of ladle" , "Small shovel for serving ice-cream" , "Dig out - story that makes the headlines" , "Haul" , "Exclusive report" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
