somehow

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the way people love me in a show?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'love me in a show?' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'o'+'me'='ome'
'ome' inserted inside 'show' is 'SOMEHOW'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for somehow that I've seen before include "For some unspecified reason" , "In an unspecified way" , "In a way not yet specified" , "For an unknown reason; so who, me? (anag.)" , "By one means or another" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
