That's no phoney earthling silly! (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
real thing
'that's no phoney' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'earthling silly' is the wordplay.
'silly' is an anagram indicator.
'earthling' with letters rearranged gives 'REAL THING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
