Right to support celebrity skin-basher (5)
I believe the answer is:
starr
'skin-basher' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'right to support celebrity' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'to support' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (in a down clue, some letters hold others up).
'celebrity' becomes 'star' (a star is a celebrity or famous person).
'r' put after 'star' is 'STARR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for starr that I've seen before include "Ringo --, drummer" , "Freddie . . . . . Ate My Hamster" , "Beatle Ringo" , "English rock star and drummer, b. 1940" , "rush up north" .)
