With excessive publicity, head lost in passion, was lying about kiss? (11)
I believe the answer is:
overexposed
'head lost in passion was lying about kiss?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'with excessive publicity' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'excessive' becomes 'over' (over can mean in excess or excessively).
'publicity' becomes 'exposed' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'over' put next to 'exposed' is 'OVEREXPOSED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overexposed that I've seen before include "Too visible" , "Given too much publicity" , "What Northern Rock was" .)
