Crossword Genius

The same woman, teetotal, getting nothing (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ditto

'the same' is the definition.
(ditto means the same as previously mentioned)

'woman teetotal getting nothing' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'di' (short for Diana).
'teetotal' becomes 'tt' (abbreviation).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'nothing' becomes 'O' (looks like zero - 0).
'di'+'tt'+'o'='DITTO'

(Other definitions for ditto that I've seen before include "Two small marks indicating the same again" , "Do alternative" , "Dot it for the same again" , "As per previous" , "Mark used to indicate repetition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
