About to admit I would get carried away? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ride

'get carried away?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'about to admit i would' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'to admit' is an insertion indicator.
'i would' becomes 'I'd'.
're' going around 'id' is 'RIDE'.

(Other definitions for ride that I've seen before include "To control" , "badger" , "Journey on horse?" , "What suckers are taken for" , "Travel upon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
