The naked truth

- By SARA NATHAN

KATE Moss has never had a problem talking about Johnny Depp. In the mid-1990s, the supermodel was asked by a British morning TV host about how romantic her then-boyfriend was — and revealed that Depp liked to surprise her with parties and presents.

“Oh, go on, what sort of presents?” asked “The Big Breakfast” host Gaby Roslin.

“He gave me a diamond necklace which he had hidden

down the crack of his arse!” Moss chirped.

Years later, she again reminisced about the jewelry. “He said, ‘Come on, we’re going to

the Russian Tea Room for dinner’ . . . as we were going out the door, he said, ‘Kate, I’ve got something on my arse, you

have to look, I don’t know what it is, will you have a look for me,’ ” she told Nick Knight’s Fashion Film. “I’d only known him like three months! I put my hand down the back of his trousers and pulled out this f–king Tiffany necklace. It was nice not to find a boil. That necklace is f-king class . . .”

It’s probably not a story Moss will repeat on Wednesday, when she appears via video to testify on Depp’s behalf in his defamation court case about his ex-wife Amber Heard.

Instead, Moss, 48, is expected to explain how Depp once swept her up and carried her after she slipped down stairs, according to sources.

A superstar witness

Moss was drawn into the legal drama when Heard, 36, told the jury about a March 2015 fight during which she punched Depp, 58, in the face out of fear he was going to shove her sister, Whitney Henriquez, down a staircase.

The “Aquaman” actress said Henriquez was near a staircase “in the line of fire . . . trying to get Johnny to stop,” which reminded her of a rumored incident between Moss and Depp.

“[Whitney’s] back was to the staircase, and Johnny swings at her,” Heard testified. “I don’t hesitate, I don’t wait — I just, in my head, instantly think of Kate Moss and stairs.”

By mentioning the alleged misconduct, Heard inadverten­tly allowed Depp’s lawyers to call the model as a witness.
