Camp role models for foreign gentleman (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

caballero

'foreign gentleman' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'camp role models' is the wordplay.
'camp' becomes 'cabal' (cabal is a kind of camp).
'models' is an anagram indicator.
'role' is an anagram of 'lero'.
'cabal'+'lero'='CABALLERO'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for caballero that I've seen before include "Spanish gentleman" , "Foreign gentleman" , "Horseman" , "Cowboy" , "Spaniard politely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
