Like a good candidate? Let a celeb get involved (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

electable

'like a good candidate?' is the definition.

'let a celeb get involved' is the wordplay.
'get involved' indicates anagramming the letters.
'let'+'a'+'celeb'='letaceleb'
'letaceleb' is an anagram of 'ELECTABLE'.

(Other definitions for electable that I've seen before include "Likely to attract votes" , "might be put in office" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
