Exhibitionist shedding habit (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

streaker

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

This could be a double definition.

'exhibitionist' is the first definition.
(I know that streaker is a type of exhibitionist)

'shedding habit' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for streaker that I've seen before include "Person running without clothes" , "One barely running in public" , "when not having a stitch" , "One running out of clothes?" , "Person who runs naked through a public place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
