All done,bar 4 down:
A man with talent gains new followers and admirers, perhaps (5,5)
I have A?E?T / ?O?N?

Is the first word AGENT ( a man.... a gent?)

Maybe you are thinking of Clootie 7 from August 2016, which had:

Spy ring concealed by devoted female worker, perhaps (5,4)

Happy New Year to all Herald puzzlers.
