Being spiteful about bridge couple — charming (10)

I believe the answer is:

bewitching

'charming' is the definition.
('bewitch' can be a synonym of 'charm')

'being spiteful about bridge couple' is the wordplay.
'being spiteful' becomes 'bitching'.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'bridge couple' becomes 'ew' (East and West team in the card game bridge).
'bitching' enclosing 'ew' is 'BEWITCHING'.

(Another definition for bewitching that I've seen is " Seductive".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
