Overenthusiastic facial tan going wrong (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fanatical

'overenthusiastic' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'facial tan going wrong' is the wordplay.
'going wrong' indicates an anagram.
'facial'+'tan'='facialtan'
'facialtan' with letters rearranged gives 'FANATICAL'.

(Other definitions for fanatical that I've seen before include "Unreasonably zealous" , "Obsessive" , "Blindly enthusiastic" , "Overenthusiastic" , "Excessively zealous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
