Jonathan Ross's expert declared to be a charlatan (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

quack

'charlatan' is the definition.
(quack is a kind of charlatan)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for quack that I've seen before include "Bogus doctor" , "Pseudo doctor" , "phoney" , "Mountebank medic" , "Duck's cry or dud doctor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
