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

'sugar babe?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'wrong take on mp going round with' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates anagramming the letters.
'going round' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters go around others).
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'take'+'on'+'mp'='takeonmp'
'takeonmp' is an anagram of 'keptoman'.
'keptoman' placed around 'w' is 'KEPT WOMAN'.
