COTD: Cryptic Crossword from 2020...

Hi! So I found a Cryptic Crossword from 2020... (The Economist, Christmas Ed)

10A Peter's in a jam (6). Doesn't seem to be PICKLE or MUDDLE because I've got -U-M-E

17D Sparkles on radio like British bandleader (8). GLITTERS doesn't fit because I've got -E-E-E-S, but I can't make JEWELERS or BEJEWELS make any sense in my head.

Anyone got any insight? Thanks in advance!

PS Did I do the prefix thing appropriately?
