ITV re-open a shocking part of Madonna's past (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evita peron

'part of madonna's past' is the definition.
(part played by Madonna in the film Evita)

'itv re-open a shocking' is the wordplay.
'shocking' indicates anagramming the letters (letters shocked or shaken).
'itv'+'re'+'open'+'a'='itvreopena'
'itvreopena' anagrammed gives 'EVITA PERON'.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
