VIP giving one a broad grin! (3,6)

I believe the answer is:

big cheese

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

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

'giving one a broad grin' is the wordplay.
'giving' becomes 'big' (synonyms).
'one a broad grin' becomes 'cheese' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'big'+'cheese'='BIG CHEESE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for big cheese that I've seen before include "Mousetrap attraction!" , "Important chap" , "Important person (slang)" , "boss" , "Large cake of Cheshire, perhaps" .)
