Strangely rude about the girl being guided (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ushered

'being guided' is the definition.
(usher can mean to guide someone)

'strangely rude about the girl' is the wordplay.
'strangely' is an anagram indicator.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'the girl' becomes 'she' (I've seen this in another clue).
'rude' with letters rearranged gives 'ured'.
'ured' placed around 'she' is 'USHERED'.

(Other definitions for ushered that I've seen before include "Conducted" , "Showed to a seat" , "Showed people to seats as in cinemas or theatre" , "Led" , "Escorted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
