Unfortunately bald, I improvised (2-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ad-lib

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

'unfortunately bald i' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' indicates an anagram (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'bald'+'i'='baldi'
'baldi' is an anagram of 'AD-LIB'.

(Other definitions for ad-lib that I've seen before include "Speak impromptu" , "freely" , "Talk without notes" , "Depart from the text" , "Improvised remark" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
