New reporter cuddling that woman’s little angel (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cherub

'little angel' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'new reporter cuddling that woman's' is the wordplay.
'new reporter' becomes 'cub' (cub can mean a young news reporter).
'cuddling' indicates putting letters inside.
'that woman's' becomes 'her' (belonging to a woman).
'cub' placed around 'her' is 'CHERUB'.

(Other definitions for cherub that I've seen before include "Angel shown as a winged child" , "Angel portrayed as a winged child" , "Member of heavenly group" , "Sweet innocent baby" , "Angelic child" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
