I'm pleased nice hero is pious (10)
I believe the answer is:
goodygoody
'i'm pleased nice' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'hero is pious' is the wordplay.
'hero' becomes 'goody' (I've seen this before).
'is pious' becomes 'goody' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'goody'+'goody'='GOODYGOODY'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
