JOHNNY Depp is laughing away his courtroom woes by chuckling over Brit funny girl Morgana Robinson.

The Fantastic Beasts star is locked in a legal battle in the UK that has sparked lurid headlines over his relationsh­ip with his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard.

But while here for the case at London’s High Court, Depp, 57, is said to have got hooked on the impression­ist’s routines.

Morgana, 38, played Pippa Middleton in royal parody The Windsors and also had her own show on Channel 4.

Her BBC2 mockumenta­ry, Morgana Robinson’s The Agency, is a hit on iPlayer.

A source said: “Johnny has been very focused on the trial, getting early nights and hanging out in his hotel suite.

INTENSE

“But it’s been an intense case and he’s been enjoying British TV, in particular comedies. He really loves Morgana.

“He finds her impression­s hilarious – he’d love to meet her when the trial’s over.”

Depp is suing News Group Newspapers, publishers of The Sun, over a 2018 article that called him a “wife beater”.

He has been in a £2,000-a-night London hotel suite, dining alone – and watching British sitcoms to pass the time.

Last week, his personal life was laid bare as he was accused of 14 separate domestic-violence incidents against Heard, 34, which he strenuousl­y denies.

He says the allegation­s are a hoax by Heard, built up over years as an “insurance policy”. Graphic ABUSE CLAIMS Depp’s ex-wife Amber Heard

LOVED-UP Brooklyn Beckham posted a picture with model Nicola Peltz yesterday and confirmed they are engaged.

Brooklyn, 21 – seen above in the arms of billionair­e’s daughter Nicola, 25 – wrote: “Two weeks ago, I asked my soulmate to marry me and she said yes.

“I am the luckiest man in the world. I promise to be the best husband and daddy one day. I love you baby.” Photograph­er Brooklyn got sister Harper, nine, to take the snap at the Beckhams’ Cotswolds retreat. The Mirror yesterday revealed Brooklyn’s dad David and ex-Spice Girl mum Victoria are delighted.

Nicola, whose ring is thought to have cost £200,000, posted: “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life by your side.

“Your love is the most precious gift.”
