I think that the answer is GRDGS (grudges)

Envious Chigwell simpleton being captivated by ???????
Barnaby RUDGE is the Chigwell simpleton, and begrudges is envious, but I haven't got a clue what word "prttsts" is and so am having difficulty parsing.

Also can anybody think what word could be tnnn (missing only the vowels!)?
Thankyou - I am finding this one interesting!
