Kate Moss hailed a 'Queen' by fans for defending Johnny Depp against Amber Heard claims

Supernodel Kate Moss has been lauded a "Queen" after she was called to testify in Johnny Depp's $50million libel trial against ex-wife Amber Heard.

Giving her testimony via a video link from Gloucestershire, England, Kate dispelled a claim that Amber had made about Johnny pushing the model down a flight of stairs.

Kate had dated Johnny between 1994 and 1998, and testified that she had not been pushed, contrary to the rumour that Amber had said she was inclined to believe.

The model told the court: "We were leaving the room and Johnny left the room before I did and there had been a rainstorm.

"As I left the room I slid down the stairs and I hurt my back and I screamed because I didn't know what had happened to me.

"[Depp] came running back to help me and carried me to my room and got me medical attention."

After Kate's testimony, which lasted just a couple of minutes before she was dismissed by the judge with Amber's lawyers declining the chance to cross-examine her, fans of the model took to social media to celebrate what she had said and how she had said it.

Among the big names was fellow modelling icon, Naomi Campbell, who shared an article about Kate testifying along with the caption: "Yes Wagon tell it!! @katemossagency"

Others shared their admiration for Kate as she stayed serene during her questioning.

One wrote on Twitter: "I've never had an opinion on Kate Moss, but the amount of respect & admiration I have for that woman now is off the charts. 25 years after they split, she has the elegance & grace to come forward when he needed her. She is a damn queen! #Respect #KateMoss #JohnnyDeppVsAmberHeard"

While another added: "Kate Moss testifying is what love and friendship and the truth is all about. Not lying and abusing the ones you love. Take notes Amber."

Kate was declared the "Queen" of the trial by a third fan, who tweeted: "The immense respect I have for Kate Moss right now... She's a very private person and she has had her own share of dirt thrown at her by the media. The fact that she's willing to stand up for Johnny Depp, all with a live cross examination waiting for her is some queen behaviour."

The trial continues.
