Very sad he ruined the roast again (5-4)
I believe the answer is:
heart-sore
'very sad' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'he ruined the roast again' is the wordplay.
'ruined' indicates an anagram.
'again' becomes 're'.
'roast' with letters rearranged gives 'artso'.
'he'+'artso'+'re'='HEART-SORE'
