Worship reports of non-working viewers (7)
I believe the answer is:
idolise
'worship' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for idolise that I've seen before include "Worship (S, not Z)" , "Worship and adore" , "Worship to extremes" , "put on a pedestal" , "Hero-worship, revere" .)
