His growl affected one in chorus line? (8)
I believe the answer is:
showgirl
'one in chorus line?' is the definition.
(showgirls might form a chorus line)
'his growl affected' is the wordplay.
'affected' indicates anagramming the letters.
'his'+'growl'='hisgrowl'
'hisgrowl' is an anagram of 'SHOWGIRL'.
(Another definition for showgirl that I've seen is " Entertainer".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
