Her ladle's broken (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

della

'her' is the definition.

'ladle's broken' is the wordplay.
'broken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ladle' is an anagram of 'DELLA'.

(Another definition for della that I've seen is " - - Street (Perry Mason)".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
