I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">public shame</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for ignominy that I've seen before include "Public shame or disgrace" , "State of disgrace or humiliation" , "terrible disgrace?" , "Disgrace, odium" , "Public dishonour" .)
