Klum say greeting outside Islamic festival (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heidi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'klum' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'greeting outside islamic festival' is the wordplay.
'greeting' becomes 'hi' (hi is a kind of greeting).
'outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'islamic festival' becomes 'eid' (eg Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha).
'hi' placed around 'eid' is 'HEIDI'.

'say' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for heidi that I've seen before include "German lady's name" , "lady - from Cologne?" , "Girl's name (from German)" , "book" , "Novel Swiss girl" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
