Facing repercussions, won't air the broadcast (2,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
in hot water
'facing repercussions' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'won't air the broadcast' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' is an anagram indicator (letters scattered or cast around).
'wont'+'air'+'the'='wontairthe'
'wontairthe' with letters rearranged gives 'IN HOT WATER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for in hot water that I've seen before include "having a bath?" , "Facing reprimand" , "Bubbles may appear" , "Washing-up is done so" , "Where eggs may be cooked" .)
