Ross

I believe the answer is:

belle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'she' is the definition.

'repeatedly left a six-footer outside' is the wordplay.
'repeatedly left' becomes 'bel' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a six-footer' becomes 'louse' (a louse has six feet).
'outside' means to remove the middle letters.
'louse' with its middle taken out is 'le'.
'bel'+'le'='BELLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for belle that I've seen before include "Most attractive girl" , "Reigning beauty" , "dish" , "Handsome lady of the Ball?" , "Beautiful woman - of the ball?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
