Thanks both. Possibly not helped by having never watched or listened to the Steve Coogan character. So nothing to do with birds then. Is the part of the clue that gets you the overall definition 'Partridge' just the word 'host'?
Yes
It's an & lit clue, the word play is also the definition , ie it describes him.
It's an "&lit" ("and literally so"), where the clue as a whole functions as the definition & wordplay
