Ushered her out? That’s not new! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

used

'not new' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'ushered her out?' is the wordplay.
'out?' is a deletion indicator.
'ushered' with 'her' taken out is 'USED'.

'that's' is the link.

(Other definitions for used that I've seen before include "Second-hand - not wasted" , "Was treating" , "no stranger" , "Went through" , "Exploited - not new" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
