Ross

peach

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fruit gorgeous thing' is the definition.
'peach' can be an answer for 'fruit' (type of fruit). I am not sure about the 'gorgeous thing' bit.

'fruit gorgeous thing' is the wordplay.
'fruit' becomes 'pea' (pea is a kind of fruit).
'gorgeous thing' becomes 'ch' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'pea'+'ch'='PEACH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for peach that I've seen before include "Juicy fruit with yellow-pink skin and rough stone" , "Pinkish-orange colour" , "Popular stone-fruit" , "Turn informer" , "One of the items in the fruit bowl" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
