I believe the answer is:

pin-up

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

'hot-shot?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'private eye's double entendre repulsed' is the wordplay.
'private eye' becomes 'PI' (synonyms).
'double entendre' becomes 'pun' (I've seen this before).
'repulsed' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'pun' back-to-front is 'nup'.
'pi'+'nup'='PIN-UP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pin-up that I've seen before include "Sexy model" , "Object of (sexual) admiration" , "Attractive figure" , "Cover girl" , "Attractive celebrity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
