Love a bit of Brad or Ethan (5)

I believe the answer is:

adore

'love' is the definition.
(adoring is a kind of loving)

'a bit of brad or ethan' is the wordplay.
'a bit of' indicates a hidden word.
'ADORE' is hidden within 'brad or ethan'.

(Other definitions for adore that I've seen before include "Love, revere intensely" , "Respect deeply" , "Cherish" , "Honour" , "Worship, venerate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
