Adored celebrity (4)
I believe the answer is:
idol
'adored celebrity' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for idol that I've seen before include "Superstar; graven image" , "Darling" , "Pop - - (TV)" , "A matinee -- is a handsome actor" , "Someone much loved" .)
