Williams seems to be in heaven usually! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

venus

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

'williams' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'to be in heaven usually' is the wordplay.
'to be in' indicates a hidden word.
'VENUS' is hidden in the letters of 'heaven usually'.

'seems' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for venus that I've seen before include "Morning star" , "Brightest planet" , "our Neighbour" , "Solar system planet" , "Roman goddess of love" .)
