The Teardrop Explodes single which begins "Bless my cotton socks, I'm in the news” (6)

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for reward that I've seen before include "Appreciative gift offered for drawer" , "Gift given to show appreciation of a good deed" , "Prize payment" , "Deserts" , "Tip" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
