Weakness for someone or something (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

soft spot

(Other definitions for soft spot that I've seen before include "Affectionate weakness for (someone/something)" , "Sentimental affection" , "Sentimental fondness" , "showing fondness" , "Feeling of affection towards person - not hard" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
