Kiss and cuddle Charlie, a silly person (8)
I believe the answer is:
canoodle
'kiss and cuddle' is the definition.
(to canoodle is to kiss and cuddle)
'charlie a silly person' is the wordplay.
'charlie' becomes 'c' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'silly person' becomes 'noodle' (term for a foolish person).
'c'+'a'+'noodle'='CANOODLE'
(Other definitions for canoodle that I've seen before include "Behave amorously" , "Fondle" , "neck" , "Pet" , "Hug and kiss" .)
