Old flame worked as model — with nothing on? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exposed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'model with nothing on?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'old flame worked' is the wordplay.
'old flame' becomes 'ex' (an ex-partner).
'worked' becomes 'posed' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ex'+'posed'='EXPOSED'

'as' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for exposed that I've seen before include "Unprotected from the weather" , "Made public" , "Shown up" , "Without protection" , "Not covered" .)
