Give too much publicity to do with former model (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overexpose

'give too much publicity' is the definition.
(give too much exposure)

'to do with former model' is the wordplay.
'to do with' becomes 'over' (both can mean relating to or as a result of).
'former' becomes 'ex' (prefix meaning former or onetime).
'model' becomes 'pose' (model can mean to pose).
'over'+'ex'+'pose'='OVEREXPOSE'

(Another definition for overexpose that I've seen is " Give too much publicity to".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
