Terribly vain fellow? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ivan

'fellow?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'terribly vain' is the wordplay.
'terribly' is an anagram indicator.
'vain' anagrammed gives 'IVAN'.

(Other definitions for ivan that I've seen before include "Chap" , "Russian tsar called 'the Terrible'" , "... the Terrible, 16th-century ruler of Russia" , "Fellow" , "his progress in history was terrible!" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
