Wretched 'celebs' paid to go wild (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

despicable

'wretched' is the definition.
(I know that wretched can be written as despicable)

'celebs paid to go wild' is the wordplay.
'to go wild' is an anagram indicator (a wild or uncontrollable version of the letters).
'celebs'+'paid'='celebspaid'
'celebspaid' with letters rearranged gives 'DESPICABLE'.

(Other definitions for despicable that I've seen before include "bum" , "Mean" , "rotten" , "Vile" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
