Johnny Depp lost his High Court libel claim against the publisher of The Sun last year, with a judge finding that allegations he was violent towards his ex-wife Amber Heard were “substantially true”.

But the Hollywood star claims he “did not receive a fair trial” and is asking the Court of Appeal to grant permission for him to appeal against the ruling at a hearing on Thursday.
