Bashful or modest (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shamefaced

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'bashful' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'modest' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for shamefaced that I've seen before include "Sorry-looking" , "Very modest, bashful" , "Hangdog" , "Displaying dishonour" , "Looking guilty" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
