Crossword Genius

Has made trouble when embarrassed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ashamed

'embarrassed' is the definition.
('ashamed' can be similar in meaning to 'embarrassed')

'has made trouble' is the wordplay.
'trouble' is an anagram indicator.
'has'+'made'='hasmade'
'hasmade' is an anagram of 'ASHAMED'.

'when' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ashamed that I've seen before include "Abashed - embarrassed" , "hanging his head" , "Afflicted with remorse, feeling sense of wrongdoing" , "Having painful regret for behaviour" , "Remorseful" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
