I'm deep in trouble bringing hamper (6)
I believe the answer is:
impede
'hamper' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'i'm deep in trouble' is the wordplay.
'in trouble' indicates anagramming the letters.
'deep' is an anagram of 'pede'.
'im'+'pede'='IMPEDE'
'bringing' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for impede that I've seen before include "Hinder, be obstructive" , "Slow" , "Hinder or delay" , "Hinder, inhibit" , "Hinder or hold up" .)
