Repeated, looking embarrassed about force (8)
I believe the answer is:
reprised
'repeated' is the definition.
('reprise' can be a synonym of 'repeat')
'looking embarrassed about force' is the wordplay.
'looking embarrassed' becomes 'red' (I've seen this before).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'force' becomes 'prise' (I've seen this before).
'red' going around 'prise' is 'REPRISED'.
(Other definitions for reprised that I've seen before include "Repeated" , "performed again" .)
