Interfere in award to be announced (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meddle

'interfere in' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'award to be announced' is the wordplay.
'award' becomes 'medal' (medal is a kind of award).
'to be announced' shows a homophone (sound like).
'medal' is a homophone of 'MEDDLE'.

(Other definitions for meddle that I've seen before include "Interfere in another's business" , "Stick one's oar in" , "Interfere in someone else's business" , "Interfere in the affairs of others" , "Tamper, tinker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
