Attractive girl caught you texting a link (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cutie

'attractive girl' is the definition.
(cutie can mean an attractive person)

'caught you texting a link' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'you texting' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for 'you' when texting).
'a link' becomes 'tie' ('tie' can be a synonym of 'link').
'c'+'u'+'tie'='CUTIE'

(Other definitions for cutie that I've seen before include "Smart female" , "Endearing person" , "Attractive girl" , "something pleasing" , "Attractive person or animal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
