Wanton hassles me disgracefully (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shameless

'wanton' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'hassles me disgracefully' is the wordplay.
'disgracefully' indicates an anagram.
'hassles'+'me'='hasslesme'
'hasslesme' with letters rearranged gives 'SHAMELESS'.

(Other definitions for shameless that I've seen before include "Barefaced, unabashed" , "Quite brazen" , "Brazenly showing no regret" , "Immodest; brazen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
