Like Bunter coming in to be seen? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

obese

'like bunter coming' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'in to be seen?' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'OBESE' is hidden in the letters of 'to be seen'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for obese that I've seen before include "Enormously portly" , "Very substantial" , "Carrying far too much weight" , "Needing to lose weight" , "Pathologically fat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
