Ross

I believe the answer is:

misled

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">duped</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">deluded</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(delude can mean to mislead)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for misled that I've seen before include "as 15 [HOAX] did" , "Gave false or misleading information to" , "Wrongly directed" , "Sent someone in the wrong direction" , "Given the wrong idea" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
