Crossword Genius

Ignorant drunk uses cell (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clueless

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

'drunk uses cell' is the wordplay.
'drunk' is an anagram indicator.
'uses'+'cell'='usescell'
'usescell' with letters rearranged gives 'CLUELESS'.

(Other definitions for clueless that I've seen before include "With no idea" , "sort of crossword that nobody can solve?" , "Ignorant; helpless" , "Completely at sea about what's going on" , "Lacking knowledge and ability (informal)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
