Gareth Malone's new occupation? (5,7)
I believe the answer is:
hotel manager
'occupation?' is the definition.
'gareth malone's new' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'gareth'+'malone'='garethmalone'
'garethmalone' with letters rearranged gives 'HOTEL MANAGER'.
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
