Fruit no lovers want? (10)

I believe the answer is:

gooseberry

I believe this is a double definition.

'fruit' is the first definition.
(I know that gooseberry is a type of currant)

'no lovers want?' is the second definition.
(gooseberry can mean an extra person with a couple)

(Other definitions for gooseberry that I've seen before include "it bears fruit" , "One unwelcome near passion" , "Some intruders play it" , "Fruit - unwanted third person" , "Third-party" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
