Spills the beans about the girl holding the money (5)

I believe the answer is:

blabs

'spills the beans' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'the girl holding the money' is the wordplay.
'the girl' becomes 'babs' ().
'holding' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the money' becomes 'l' (L can mean 'pounds').
'babs' placed around 'l' is 'BLABS'.

'about' is the link.

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
