She's back from Basildon (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lisa

'she's' is the definition.

'back from basildon' is the wordplay.
'back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'asil' is hidden in the letters of 'basildon'.
'asil' in reverse letter order is 'LISA'.

(Other definitions for lisa that I've seen before include "Leonardo da Vinci painted the 'Mona ....'" , "Mona ..., also called La Gioconda" , "Mona . . . ., famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci" , "Girl" , "Most intelligent of Marge Simpson's children" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
