Her need is unusual (6)
I believe the answer is:
denise
'her' is the definition.
'need is unusual' is the wordplay.
'unusual' is an anagram indicator.
'need'+'is'='needis'
'needis' anagrammed gives 'DENISE'.
(Other definitions for denise that I've seen before include "Miss Van Outen" , "- - Lewis, pentathlete" .)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
