Like someone being celebrated getting browned off? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toasted

This clue is a double definition.

'like someone being celebrated' is the first definition.
(as in raising a toast to someone)

'browned off?' is the second definition.
(having gone brown from toasting)

'getting' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for toasted that I've seen before include "Saluted" , "drank to the happy couple!" , "cooked in one way" , "(Of bread) browned" , "Absent Friends may be" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
