Hag, hot, arriving with one man (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

harridan

'hag' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'hot arriving with one man' is the wordplay.
'hot' becomes 'h' (abbreviation, eg on taps).
'arriving' becomes 'arr' (abbreviation used in transport).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'man' becomes 'dan' ().
'h'+'arr'+'i'+'dan'='HARRIDAN'

(Other definitions for harridan that I've seen before include "Nagging old woman" , "angry woman" , "'Bad-tempered, scolding old woman (8)'" , "awful old woman" , "shrew" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
