Former partner, impudent, sees specialist (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

expert

'specialist' is the definition.
(a specialist is an expert in a field)

'former partner impudent' is the wordplay.
'former partner' becomes 'ex' (an ex-partner).
'impudent' becomes 'pert' (I've seen this before).
'ex'+'pert'='EXPERT'

'sees' is the link.

(Other definitions for expert that I've seen before include "Knowledgeable specialist" , "Dab hand" , "Highly skilled or knowledgeable person" , "One has specialist knowledge or ability" , "Buff" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
