Become embarrassed (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lose face

(Other definitions for lose face that I've seen before include "Suffer ignominy" , "Fail to preserve prestige" , "Suffer a drop in prestige" , "get humiliated" , "Suffer a loss of respect" .)

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