Nasty, unpleasant (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

icky

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'nasty' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'unpleasant' is the second definition.
(icky can mean disgusting)

(Other definitions for icky that I've seen before include "Cloying -- repulsive" , "Repulsively sentimental" , "Sickly sweet" , "Distasteful - over-sentimental" , "horrid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
