The gossip about the lookalike is nonsense (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

double talk

'nonsense' is the definition.
(double talk is a kind of nonsense)

'the gossip about the lookalike' is the wordplay.
'the gossip' becomes 'talk' (talk is a kind of gossip).
'about' says to put letters next to each other.
'the lookalike' becomes 'double' (I've seen this before).
'talk' put after 'double' is 'DOUBLE-TALK'.

'is' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
