Introduction to star at home (4-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lead-in

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

'star at home' is the subsidiary indication.
'star' becomes 'lead' ('lead' can be a synonym of 'star').
'at home' becomes 'in' ('in' can be similar in meaning to 'at home').
'lead'+'in'='leadin'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for lead-in that I've seen before include "Introduction to subject" , "Introduction, preamble" , "Introductory passage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
