eclat

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

'celebrity' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'up by brutal censors' is the wordplay.
'ECLAT' is hidden back-to-front within the letters.
However, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

'shown' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eclat that I've seen before include "Brilliant display -- conspicuous success" , "Brilliant display or effect" , "Brilliant success - striking effect" , "Loud applause" , "Social distinction in France" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
