Girl from Morecambe area? (5)

I believe the answer is:

erica

'girl' is the definition.

'morecambe area?' is the wordplay.
'morecambe' becomes 'Eric' (comedian Eric Morecambe).
'eric'+'a'='ERICA'

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for erica that I've seen before include "Heathland shrub; girl's name" , "I care (anag) - plant - girl" , "Shrub genus; girl's name" , "Plant of the heath genus" , "Girl's name - I care (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
