Publicity man wildly resents gap (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

press agent

'publicity man' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'wildly resents gap' is the wordplay.
'wildly' is an anagram indicator.
'resents'+'gap'='resentsgap'
'resentsgap' is an anagram of 'PRESS-AGENT'.

(Other definitions for press agent that I've seen before include "PR person" , "PA" , "Person seeking favourable publicity on behalf a client" , "publicist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
