THERE is no truth in rumours about Hollywood heart-throb Johnny Depp moving to the area, according to his agent.

Following another upsurge in speculation that the Pirates of the Caribbean Star had brought a house in Broomfield on the Quantocks, the County Gazette got in touch with his Beverley Hills agent, Robin Baum.

When asked whether Mr Depp had purchased the £2million-plus Timbercombe House she said: "There is no truth to these reports."

No doubt this news will leave many fans disappointed, but many claim they have seen him in the area.

Last week Sue Honeyball of Manor Farm horse trekking centre and neighbour to Timbercombe House said one of her trekkers had seen him in the area.
