Dele Adebola is wrong but you're correct with both of your workings out so far

We need to solve the loose woman!
Slut, tart, slag...(apols for the unpleasant language - just trying to solve the clue!) Then I guess that gets scrambled with D E A L B A Unless Loose Woman is one of the presenters of the TV show? I'm know it's JBO's favourite

Had to cheat really.....I obviously know you support the Owls, so I looked up Wednesday's and Saturday's opponents QPR's squads on Wiki....
Sure enough, there's a hoop named Adel Taarabt ( ), 'tart' being the loose woman....

James Wade
![]() Tight spot = jam oddly easy = (e)a(s)y to walk through = wade Good clue, TC! Was really struggling with that until you revealed the sport. Silvers grip around potassium is really extreme (4,7) |

I'm certain I'm right.
Silvers = Phil. Grip around potassium = Vice around K = Vicke. really extreme = ry = Vickery. So here's my clue. Muhammad takes a step up, before the owl takes shelter |

Hmmm, 'anew' suggests an anagram...
Tried scrambling 'tempts hint anew' but can't solve it. Letters might be handy
