Thanks ael.
i'm waiting to see a solution to the problem clue before i send it in :-)

If I don't hear anything back by tomorrow I will ring them again.Unfortunately they have had an office re-organisation and my usual contact has moved on.
thanks, i find it hard to believe that the parse given for loco could be right, considering that the brain games crossword is pretty straightforward?

I’ve managed at last to get a reply. The correct clue should read
“Parasitic insects cut, losing head”. L?C?

Because it's their mistake, I'm sure they will ignore that particular answer; and it doesn't affect the actress's name.
So the answer is (s)lice.
Good to see you got a reply at least - all clear now.
thanks rayjack
Thanks, rayjack. So has the Telegraph confirmed that they have voided this clue, meaning that 'wrong' answers will be disregarded? That is their usual way in such circumstances.
Just had confirmation of the correct clue. Entries entered with a blank or an incorrect answer will be accepted.
