Ladle (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

spoon

scoop

'ladle' is the definition.
(I know that scoop is a type of ladle)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for scoop that I've seen before include "Exclusive newspaper story" , "Dig out - story that makes the headlines" , "Hollow concave utensil" , "Press exclusive" , "Exclusive - ice cream server" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, The Mirror, the Evening Standard and the Penny Press.
