Trouble with Ginger put on pedestal (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adored

'put on pedestal' is the definition.

'trouble with ginger' is the wordplay.
'trouble' becomes 'ado' (both can mean bother or commotion).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'ginger' becomes 'red ginger' (red hair).
'ado'+'red'='ADORED'

(Other definitions for adored that I've seen before include "Loved deeply" , "Loved enormously" , "Idolised" , "Deeply respected" , "Loved intensely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
