I believe the answer is:

come clean

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

'do you do in the shower?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'be honest' is the wordplay.
'be' becomes 'come' (coming is a kind of being).
'honest' becomes 'clean' (I've seen this before).
'come'+'clean'='COME CLEAN'

'what' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for come clean that I've seen before include "Admit" , "Be completely honest" , "Confess fully or arrive after ablutions" , "Fully confess something" , "how you hope your home delivery laundry will arrive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
