More than one fell in love with men in the script (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moors

'more than one fell' is the definition.
('fell' can mean a moor)

'love with men in the script' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'men' becomes 'or' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'in the' is an insertion indicator.
'script' becomes 'ms' (I've seen this in other clues).
'o'+'or'='oor'
'oor' going within 'ms' is 'MOORS'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for moors that I've seen before include "Ties up a boat" , "Berths" , "wild places" , "Open heathlands" , "Secures" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
