Homely part for Mr. Gibson (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mel

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

'mr gibson' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'homely part' is the wordplay.
'part' indicates a hidden word.
'MEL' is hidden within 'homely'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mel that I've seen before include "-- Brooks, film director" , "Honey" , "- - Gibson (actor)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
