Wrongly said to be about five singers (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

divas

'singers' is the definition.
(diva is a kind of singer)

'wrongly said to be about five' is the wordplay.
'wrongly' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'to be about' indicates putting letters inside.
'five' becomes 'V' (Roman numeral).
'said' with letters rearranged gives 'dias'.
'dias' enclosing 'v' is 'DIVAS'.

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
