I am in rooms with him (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

denis

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'him' is the definition.

'i am in rooms' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'i' is found in the answer.
'rooms' could be 'dens' (den is a kind of room) and 'dens' is found in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for denis that I've seen before include "St -, first Paris bishop" , "- Healey, former Chancellor of the Exchequer" , "Patron saint of France" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
