I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'lead bloke who presents weather forecast?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'lead bloke' is the wordplay.
'lead' becomes 'front' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'bloke' becomes 'man' (informal term for a man).
'front'+'man'='FRONT MAN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for front man that I've seen before include "Lead singer in group" , "Figurehead" .)
