Is anyone connected remotely via BT Homehub 4 to there pi, so it can be accessed from the outside world, if so please please please tell me how you did it

Assuming BT Homehub can only be configured via an internal network address then doing it remotely won't be possible.
If however the Pi was running proxy software like squid you could use this to access your local services remotely.
Just make sure squid is configured properly and locked down correctly you don't want other people using your proxy for dodgy activities.
Alternatively you If you can access your Pi remotely with ssh then you could use MobaXterm software to load up the GUI X11 desktop.
From there it should be possible to configure BT Homehub using one of the provided web browsers.

garycooke is not trying to configure his BTHomeHub4. He is trying to access his RPi from the WAN.

I doubt there is anything significantly different in the Hub4 than any other router when it comes to remotely access devices on its LAN side. You need to set up port forwarding. Which port(s) depend on what services you are trying to access. What exactly are you trying to achieve?
