Old flame modelled naked (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exposed

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

'old flame modelled' is the wordplay.
'old flame' becomes 'ex' (I've seen this in other clues).
'modelled' becomes 'posed' (model and pose are synonyms).
'ex'+'posed'='EXPOSED'

(Other definitions for exposed that I've seen before include "Like a dummy" , "naked" , "Deprived of protection" , "Showed up" , "Without protection" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
