Someone swallowing fire in Bow? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eater

I believe this is a double definition.

'someone swallowing' is the first definition.
(swallow can mean to eat)

'fire in bow?' is the second definition.
('heater' - an electric heater or fire - said with the 'H' dropped - a cockney accent.)

(Other definitions for eater that I've seen before include "Consumer of food" , "diner" , "Fruit (but not a cooker)" , "type of fruit" , "Type of apple" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
