Unusual heat burns - me? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sunbather

'me?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'unusual heat burns' is the wordplay.
'unusual' indicates anagramming the letters.
'heat'+'burns'='heatburns'
'heatburns' with letters rearranged gives 'SUNBATHER'.

(Other definitions for sunbather that I've seen before include "One enjoying holiday" , "Tanner" , "Loafer on the beach" , "One hoping for a tan" , "One trying to get brown" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
