Split face tiling on plasterboard, if I take some off would the plasterboard hold a tv on the wall too? It is located on the outside wall so would it be best to drill straight into the brick to be able to get the tv up?

assume it's just put when the house was built. Built in the prev 15 year. Couldn't really tell you how it's put up if I am honest @Notch7

Probably dot and dab, probably best to use Corefix Screw System, available screwfix. Will also need hammer drill and 10mm masonry bit, a hammer and drill and some washers.

What does the TV weigh? Are you mounting it in an arm that swings out/around, or just a tilting/flat wall bracket?

Isn't this very dependant on whether its an exterior wall or not? An internal wall is likely studwork (Metal or timber)
 
Crikey, that's some TV! Around 85 inch?

All in, not a huge weight to hang though. Couple of fixings near the top of the bracket and stickslike/ct1 would do it if you're going into a solid wall behind

As per @chirpychippy , an advantage of the CoreFix fittings is that they will not "pull" the dot'n'dab board into the wall, additionally, the metal insert is designed to shift any load into the blockwork

EDIT, You may want to use a countersink to bury the collar of the fittings into the wall so that the bracket is flush.

Downside, you a looking at about £20 for a box of 20, you will only need a third of a box.
