Situations when that woman explodes (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shebangs

'situations' is the definition.

'that woman explodes' is the wordplay.
'that woman' becomes 'she' (I've seen this in another clue).
'explodes' becomes 'bangs'.
'she'+'bangs'='SHEBANGS'

'when' acts as a link.

(Another definition for shebangs that I've seen is " matters".)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
