Crossword Genius

Lady turned up naked in exotic shows (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enid

'lady' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'turned up naked in exotic shows' is the wordplay.
'turned up' is a reversal indicator.
'shows' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'dine' is hidden in the letters of 'naked in exotic'.
'dine' reversed gives 'ENID'.

(Other definitions for enid that I've seen before include "Lady" , "Dine with Ms blyton, writer" , "Geraint's wife's" , "Woman" , "Dine out on this girl's name also" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
