Upper-class rogue I'd regularly prodded (5)
I believe the answer is:
urged
'prodded' is the definition.
(prod can mean to encourage or urge)
'upper-class rogue i'd regularly' is the wordplay.
'upper-class' becomes 'u' (similar in meaning).
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'rogue'+'id'='rogueid'
The alternate letters of 'rogueid' are 'rged'.
'u'+'rged'='URGED'
(Other definitions for urged that I've seen before include "Pressed" , "Impelled - encouraged" , "Beseeched" , "Egged on" , "Incited" .)
