Johnny Depp spotted in Newcastle's Bridge Tavern ahead of Amber Heard verdict coming in

Johnny Depp was spotted in a Newcastle pub by startled by fans, moments before the verdict on his high profile case with ex Amber Heard was due to be delivered.

There was already a lot of fuss surrounding the movie megastar on Wednesday after it was confirmed that he was due to join Jeff Beck on stage at Sage Gateshead on Thursday night. But nobody sat having an early Bank Holiday beverage in The Bridge expected to see him there.

As soon as the first pictures and videos of Johnny being in The Bridge circulated online, Twitter went crazy, with one onlooker saying that North Shields Brit winner Sam Fender was with him. One of the lucky ones who actually got to meet Johnny in a fleeting moment he'll never forget was Gary Spedding, who also shot the picture above which caused a real stir on Twitter.
