Ross

I believe the answer is:

diva

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

'narcissist' 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?

'keen to make a comeback' is the wordplay.
'keen' becomes 'avid' (I've seen this before).
'to make a comeback' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (I've seen 'making a comeback' mean this).
'avid' written backwards gives 'DIVA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for diva that I've seen before include "Operatic soprano" , "Prima dona" , "Distinguished female singer" , "Callas, say" , "Celebrated female operatic star" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
