Film companies editing out ten hunks (5)
I believe the answer is:
studs
'hunks' is the definition.
(both can mean attractive men)
'film companies editing out ten' is the wordplay.
'film companies' becomes 'studios' (as in film studios).
'editing out' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'ten' becomes 'io' (IO resembles 10).
'studios' with 'io' taken away is 'STUDS'.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
