In satire now, northern celebrity (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

renown

'celebrity' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'in satire now northern' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'RENOWN' is hidden within 'satire now northern'.

(Other definitions for renown that I've seen before include "Good reputation" , "Fame, respect" , "Fame and eminence" , "High reputation, fame" , "Fame and distinction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
