I have EE broadband it’s back up by the way but I have had a few blips the last 48 hours. We have had new broadband installed recently prior to the game hanging maybe that’s been part of it.

The game often seems to have external connectivity issues. It is subjective and can depend on your location.
The issues can manifest in apparently strange ways, eg Wifi doesn't work but cellular might, or the other way around. Or if you have a VPN to another location or different provider, it may work again.
There are solutions, such as using multiple game servers in different locations and/or backup connectivity, but that would cost DB.
I've lost several arguments before where I suggested that "it's the internets, dont blame DB" wasnt a good enough answer from a game where an internet connection is required to play. There are high availability options that should be used.

Improved now.
This happens to me often. Must shut off wifi and use LTE. Even when every other app, website, netflix on same device and other devices work fine.
