When running aboard, met total heartthrob (9)
I believe the answer is:
dreamboat
'total heartthrob' is the definition.
'dreamboat' can be an answer for 'heartthrob' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'total' bit.
'when running aboard met' is the wordplay.
'when running' is an anagram indicator.
'aboard'+'met'='aboardmet'
'aboardmet' with letters rearranged gives 'DREAMBOAT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dreamboat that I've seen before include "Very attractive man" , "Attractive person" , "Heart-throb - met abroad (anag)" , "Dishy sort" , "highly desirable figure?" .)
