Johnny Depp was not present to hear the verdict in his defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard, which awarded him millions in damages.

Instead, he was in the UK touring with guitar legend Jeff Beck, with sources claiming he was absent due to "previously scheduled work commitments".

He was seen celebrating at a pub in Newcastle with Beck and UK singer Sam Fender.

Meanwhile, Kate Moss reportedly partied backstage with Depp at a concert in London after her crucial role in his court win against Heard.

Depp performed for sellout crowds alongside Beck at the Royal Albert Hall in London three nights in a row as he awaited the verdict.

And he invited his ex-girlfriend Moss to one of the shows, sources say.

Moss, who acted as a rebuttal witness in Depp's trial, took him up on the offer and was snapped leaving the venue after watching him perform covers of John Lennon, Marvin Gaye and Jimi Hendrix.

During the trial, Moss testified against a long-standing rumour that the actor had pushed her down a flight of stairs in the 1990s.

The supermodel became a star witness after Heard referenced the rumour.

During her brief appearance, she testified, "He never pushed me, kicked me or threw me down any stairs."

Speaking from Gloucester in England, Moss recalled how she had been leaving her hotel room at a Jamaica resort during a storm when she fell downstairs and injured herself.
