Barbara, about 50, lets the cat out of the bag (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blabs

'lets the cat out of the bag' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'barbara about 50' is the wordplay.
'barbara' becomes 'Babs' (short for Barbara).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'50' becomes 'l' (Roman numeral).
'babs' enclosing 'l' is 'BLABS'.
