Forcibly remove our top model (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uproot

'forcibly remove' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'our top model' is the wordplay.
'model' indicates an anagram.
'our'+'top'='ourtop'
'ourtop' anagrammed gives 'UPROOT'.

(Other definitions for uproot that I've seen before include "Displace from native surroundings" , "Pull (plant) from ground" , "Tear up from natural location, eradicate" , "Remove from soil" , "Weed out" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
