Person going on the radio for prize (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lever

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

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

'person going on the radio' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'person' could be 'eve' (Eve is an example) and 'eve' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lever that I've seen before include "Heavy bar" , "Lifting device to revel in" , "Kind of bar for prising or lifting" , "Revel in moving bar" , "Revel in lifting bar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
