He's a bit of a libertine (4)
I believe the answer is:
bert
'he's' is the definition.
'a bit of a libertine' is the wordplay.
'a bit of' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'a bit' mean this (the answer is formed by a bit of the clue)).
'BERT' is hidden within 'libertine'.
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
