In reality broadcast oafs attract fame (2,1,6,2,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

as a matter of fact

'in reality' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'broadcast oafs attract fame' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' is an anagram indicator.
'oafs'+'attract'+'fame'='oafsattractfame'
'oafsattractfame' is an anagram of 'AS A MATTER OF FACT'.

(Other definitions for as a matter of fact that I've seen before include "in reality" , "Actually" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
