Scold, admonish (7)

I believe the answer is:

upbraid

I believe this clue is a double definition.

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

'admonish' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for upbraid that I've seen before include "Beam used for detection of aircraft" , "Angrily reproach" , "Dress down" , "Reproach sternly about arid pub" , "Chastise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
