Letting in or letting on? (9)

I believe the answer is:

admission

(Other definitions for admission that I've seen before include "Acknowledgment of the truth of something" , "acceptance" , "Statement acknowledging the truth of something" , "Acknowledgment of crime" , "guilty revelation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
