Deprived of exciting adverts (7)
I believe the answer is:
starved
'deprived' is the definition.
(starving is a kind of depriving)
'exciting adverts' is the wordplay.
'exciting' is an anagram indicator.
'adverts' with letters rearranged gives 'STARVED'.
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for starved that I've seen before include "Denied" , "Went without food" , "really hungry" .)
