Make fun of star's second service (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tea set

'service' is the definition.
(service can mean items for serving tea)

'make fun of star's second' is the wordplay.
'make fun of' becomes 'tease' (I've seen this before).
'star's second' becomes 't' (2nd letter of 'star').
'tease'+'t'='TEA-SET'

(Other definitions for tea set that I've seen before include "Collections of cups, saucers etc for serving light meal" , "Crockery service" , "Set of crockery for serving light meal" , "tableware" , "Equipment for an afternoon meal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
