Crossword Genius

Former model makes a revelation (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

expose

'a revelation' is the definition.
(I know that expose is a type of exposure)

'former model' is the wordplay.
'former' becomes 'ex' (prefix meaning former or onetime).
'model' becomes 'pose' (model can mean to pose).
'ex'+'pose'='EXPOSE'

'makes' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for expose that I've seen before include "Make visible or obvious" , "Unmask or denounce" , "Uncover or unmask" , "Reveal, uncover" , "Make visible or apparent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
