Part of show acknowledged as awful (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wack

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

'part of show acknowledged as' is the wordplay.
'part of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'WACK' is hidden within 'show acknowledged as'.

(Another definition for wack that I've seen is " Crazy person".)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
