4. Spoiled one bikini top and tank top. Because I have the other clues I now know that this starts with a B and is 4 letters. Thanks everyone for their help so far xxx

Brat?

[WuTang]

bra - bikini top - t - tank top

[Bubbles17]

brilliant thanks everyone - just 19 left to do - first team in reserve - i think it is 5 letters (second letter possibly s?)

[chelle7272]

A side?

[Bubbles17]

thanks ever so much!

I am not sure whether the answer for 12 across is right though? 'Insult fifty take causes a spectacle' - the answer 'display' doesn't seem to fit.

slight

[Bubbles17]

Hi, thanks for that - do you think it could possibly be sight instead of slight? Slight won't fit.

[chelle7272]

Yes then I'd imagein you take the 50 (L) oput of slight to sight (spectacle)
