I get a tad bothered and worked up (8)
I believe the answer is:
agitated
'worked up' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'i get a tad bothered' is the wordplay.
'bothered' indicates an anagram.
'i'+'get'+'a'+'tad'='igetatad'
'igetatad' with letters rearranged gives 'AGITATED'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for agitated that I've seen before include "'Troubled, disturbed (8)'" , "Worked up, flustered" , "Troubled, perturbed" , "Distressed" , "Unsettled" .)
