I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tv star' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'huguenot went rebellious holding back' is the wordplay.
'holding' indicates a hidden word.
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'notwentreb' is hidden in the letters of 'huguenot went rebellious'.
'notwentreb' backwards is 'BERT NEWTON'.
