Pretentious person rose up awkwardly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

poseur

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

'rose up awkwardly' is the wordplay.
'awkwardly' is an anagram indicator.
'rose'+'up'='roseup'
'roseup' with letters rearranged gives 'POSEUR'.

(Other definitions for poseur that I've seen before include "Pretentious person" , "Attitudiniser (Fr.)" , "Exhibitionist" , "Uprose (anag.)" , "Pretentious type" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
