Helped to be made a fool of on the radio (9)
I believe the answer is:
succoured
'helped' is the definition.
(succouring is a kind of helping)
'made a fool of on the radio' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
'on' could be 're' (regarding) and 're' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to be' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for succoured that I've seen before include "Supported" , "Aided in distress" .)
