hot tub

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

'host evicted holy man' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'gyrating rump in spa' is the wordplay.
'gyrating' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'rump' becomes 'butt' (synonyms).
'in spa' becomes 'oh' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'butt'+'oh'='buttoh'
'buttoh' back-to-front is 'HOT TUB'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hot tub that I've seen before include "bubble bath" , "Bath large enough for several people" , "critical comment" , "Relax here in warmth" , "Spa feature" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
