Affront: own shows being pulled! (2,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

on tow

'being pulled' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'affront own shows' is the wordplay.
'shows' indicates a hidden word.
'ON TOW' is hidden within 'affront own'.

(Other definitions for on tow that I've seen before include "being strung along?" , "Being pulled along" , "Being drawn" , "A caravan is usually" , "being pulled by trucker?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
