Stars in raunchy drama? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hydra

'stars' is the definition.
(I know that Hydra is a constellation)

'in raunchy drama?' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'HYDRA' can be found hidden inside 'raunchy drama'.

(Other definitions for hydra that I've seen before include "Mythical nine-headed monster" , "Proliferating-head monster" , "Nine-headed monster killed by Hercules" , "Mythic monster with nine heads" , "Many-headed serpent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
