One stunner cuddling male in charge (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impeach

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

'one stunner cuddling male' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'stunner' becomes 'peach' ('peach' can be a synonym of 'stunner').
'cuddling' is an insertion indicator.
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'i'+'peach'='ipeach'
'ipeach' going around 'm' is 'IMPEACH'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for impeach that I've seen before include "Charge with treason, etc" , "Accuse of serious crime against the state, say treason" , "Charge public official with misconduct - Clinton?" , "Arraign - revile" , "Charge with a crime (against the state)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
