The lie has rebounded on her (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sheila

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'the lie has rebounded' is the wordplay.
'lie has' can be anagrammed to 'SHEILA'.
But, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

'on' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sheila that I've seen before include "Woman in Australian slang" , "16 down's girl" , "Informally, a girl or woman in Australia" , "Girl's name (any Oz girl?)" , "Girl's name; Six down (anag.)" .)
