Johnny Depp once again denied the “outlandish, outrageous” claims of abuse brought by his former partner Amber Heard as he returned to the stand in his US defamation trial.

The actor said he had told the truth and had “spoken up for what I have been carrying on my back reluctantly for six years”, and at times appeared to become frustrated during cross-examination from Ms Heard’s legal team.
