Give-away, revealing (8)

I believe the answer is:

telltale

(Other definitions for telltale that I've seen before include "Person who blabs, or something revealing" , "Person who blabs or something that reveals" , "Revealing indicator or sneak" , "Revealer of secrets" , "One spreads other people's secrets" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
