Announced couple as well (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

too

'as well' is the definition.
(I know this)

'announced couple' is the wordplay.
'announced' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'couple' becomes 'two' (a couple can mean two of something).
'two' sounds like 'TOO'.

(Other definitions for too that I've seen before include "Excessively" , "Moreover, in addition" , "On top - also" , "Unduly" , "Also; overly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
