The Pirates Of The Caribbean star is suing The Sun's publisher News Group Newspapers (NGN), and its executive editor Dan Wootton, over an April 2018 article which labelled him a 'wife beater'

Johnny Depp is giving evidence for a fourth day as his high-profile libel case against The Sun over allegations he was violent towards Amber Heard continues.

NGN relies on 14 alleged incidents of domestic violence towards Ms Heard, which Mr Depp denies, in their defence against the actor's libel claim. During her cross-examination, NGN's barrister Sasha Wass QC put it to Mr Depp that he subjected Ms Heard to a litany of abuse during the Australia trip, including slapping her, grabbing her by the throat, and throwing her "against a ping pong table which collapsed" - all of which the actor denied.

Mr Depp also admitted "accidentally" headbutting Ms Heard while she was said to have been "flailing and punching" him at their Los Angeles penthouse in December 2015.
