Like fans (7)
I believe the answer is:
adoring
'like fans' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for adoring that I've seen before include "Being very fond of" , "Devoted" , "Extravagantly indulgent" , "Worshipping the loved one" , "Loving, worshipping" .)
