Shocked look is what Betty and Scott have, stripped naked (6,4)

I believe the answer is:

double take

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

'shocked look is what betty' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'scott have stripped naked' is the wordplay.
'scott have' becomes 'doublet' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'stripped' says to take the centre.
The middle letters of 'naked' are 'ake'.
'doublet'+'ake'='DOUBLE TAKE'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for double take that I've seen before include "Second reaction to the unexpected" , "Delayed action" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
