Isle of —, island in the English Channel whose administrative centre is Newport (5)

I believe the answer is:

wight

(Other definitions for wight that I've seen before include "Sea area in the English Channel" , "Isle - sea area" , "South coast island" , "Courageous < creature" , "An Isle; a man (obs.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
