I perform with Latin celebrity (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idol

'celebrity' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'i perform with latin' is the wordplay.
'perform' becomes 'do' ('do' can be a synonym of 'perform').
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'latin' becomes 'l'.
'i'+'do'+'l'='IDOL'

(Other definitions for idol that I've seen before include "Graven image or worshipped person" , "One much admired" , "pop star" , "Heathen god" , "Much-loved actor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
