Badger in Harrogate as example (5)
I believe the answer is:
tease
'badger' is the definition.
(I know that badger can be written as tease)
'in harrogate as example' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'TEASE' is hidden in the letters of 'harrogate as example'.
(Other definitions for tease that I've seen before include "Rib, annoy" , "Page of book" , "Use a comb" , "Deride" , "Make playful fun of (someone)" .)
