Team schemer regularly sees host (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emcee

'host' is the definition.
(emceeing is a kind of hosting)

'team schemer regularly' is the wordplay.
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'team'+'schemer'='teamschemer'
The alternate letters of 'teamschemer' are 'EMCEE'.

'sees' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for emcee that I've seen before include "I announce" , "present" , "I introduce speakers" , "Show host" , "Compere" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
