The American actress, 34, was pictured with the cinematographer, 38, sightseeing in the city centre after being accused in the High Court of faking injuries she claimed were caused by her ex-husband.

Heard, who was wearing jeans, heeled Chelsea boots and a black blazer, had her arm around Butti as they took a leisurely stroll past landmarks including the Houses of Parliament, St James's Park and the London Eye.

Butti, who donned a black trench coat, dark trousers and a white shirt, smiled when Heard stopped for a kiss before they headed home.

It came after another roller-coaster day in the High Court where Heard was accused of faking injuries she claimed were caused by a 'backhand' from Depp.

Heard is today continuing to give evidence after making explosive claims the Pirates of the Caribbean star pushed Kate Moss down a flight of stairs.

Hollywood legend Depp is suing the Sun for libel after it described him as a 'wife beater' in 2018 amid allegations he repeatedly attacked the actress during their relationship.

Heard today denied severing the tip of Depp's finger or stubbing out a cigarette on his face during a violent argument in Australia claiming the Hollywood star was lobbing up to 30 booze bottles at her 'like grenades' while holding her hostage for three days in a mansion.

The actress, who accuses the 57-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean star of physical abuse on at least 14 occasions, was questioned about an incident Down Under in March 2015 on her third day in the witness box at the High Court in London.

Depp says the tip of his finger was severed during an argument when Heard threw a large vodka bottle which struck his hand, but Ms Heard hit back today saying: 'I only threw things to escape Johnny when he was beating me up'.

Describing the row she said she had taken a bottle from Depp from which he was drinking and smashed it on the floor, prompting a furious response from him. Ms Heard said the majority of bottles were thrown downstairs, before giving a long answer in which she said Mr Depp had thrown '30 or so bottles' towards her 'like grenades'.

She said he threw all the bottles within reach bar one, saying: 'He picked them up ad started using them like grenades or bombs...throwing one after another in my direction.'

Depp's lawyer Eleanor Laws said Heard's account that the actor had severed his finger by smashing a phone against a wall and then continued to assault her was a lie. 'No it's not,' she replied. 'I don't think he meant to sever the finger but yes he carried on attacking me.'

Laws also accused Heard of stubbing a cigarette out on Depp's cheek. 'No, Johnny did it right in front of me. He often did things like that,' she said. It came after Ms Heard claimed Johnny Depp and his lawyers have run a four-year campaign to 'harass' and 'abuse' Amber Heard as well as wreck her career after they split up.

Amber Heard's third day of cross-examination by Johnny Depp's lawyers began on Wednesday with Eleanor Laws QC asking about the alleged incident in Australia in March 2015, which Ms Heard has described as a 'three-day hostage situation'.

Ms Laws put it to the actress that she 'worked yourself into a rage, screaming at him' and threw a glass bottle, adding: 'Because you would get yourself into rages on occasions.'

Ms Heard said: 'No, I got angry at times but not into a rage that would cause me to throw anything at him.'

Mr Justice Nicol clarified her answer by repeating that she would sometimes get angry, and Ms Heard continued: 'But not to the extent where I would throw anything at him offensively.'

Ms Laws said: 'I'm going to suggest you threw a bottle at his head and it smashed the mirror behind him.'

Ms Heard said the majority of bottles were thrown downstairs. She told the court: 'I would like to be clear, I did break a bottle but it was very early on in that evening, it was the second evening, if I recall correctly, and it was before Johnny had started to throw the bottles at me.

'We were in an argument about whether he was going to drink ... the liquor. When I confronted him about it he offered me the bottle ... he said, 'here, take it'.

'He said, 'Oh yeah, you want it? Here, take it', and at that point drinking had already been ... he had already given it up for a while and it was on the list of 'if this happens, I leave' sort of thing. It was no fly.

'And he gestured to offer it to me and I reached to take it and he pulled it back.

'He was teasing me to take it and would revoke it when I reached (for it).

'Then he did it again and I have in my head all the times that he said that I saved his life, and I thought honestly I could short circuit (a row about drinking).

'So I reached for it a second time and I smashed it on the floor in between Johnny and I.

'I regret I did that.'
