Single socket just stopped working??

It is possible it is connected to the lighting circuit Are the lights working?

Yes, lights are all working

For instance ,With your meter set to AC voltage range ,and one probe touching the live ( line) conductor the other probe touching the neutral conductor would give you a voltage measurement. Is this how you carried out your testing ?
I am trying to establish if the supply is an issue ,which as others have suggested it probably is, and not the switch.

Yes, sorry, that is how I tested the back of the socket and there was no reading at all

If you have correctly established that there is no voltage to the socket then there is likely a disconnection . I would doubt that a fuse has blown if all you did was pull out the old TV' s plug ,and plug in the new TV. Had you been in the loft anytime prior to the TV swap ??

Not been in the loft Terry, literally watched the news on the old TV then changed the TVs over and no power at the socket, nothing tripped on the consumer unit, so I think I need to trace the cables up in the loft and hopefully find a fuse and hopefully not a wire eating squirrel!!
