Case of gay judge making you spin (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gyrate

'spin' is the definition.
(I know that spin can be written as gyrate)

'case of gay judge' is the wordplay.
'case of' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (like emptying a case).
'judge' becomes 'rate' (rating is a kind of judging).
'gay' with its middle taken out is 'gy'.
'gy'+'rate'='GYRATE'

'making you' is the link.

(Other definitions for gyrate that I've seen before include "Go round" , "Move with a circular motion" , "Revolve quickly and repeatedly around one's own axis" , "Dance wildly" , "Move quickly in a spiral" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
