Ok update, my last ditch attempt to swap out the E-Sim to a physical has NOT worked. I know @motionworld had already tried this but I wanted to try in UK with O2.
Im gonna make the switch to EE its double annoying coz I get discounted rates for my Virgin broadband due to my O2 account.

Hey, got the similar problem, looks like it is the same.
I have 14 pro max with AirPods Pro 2. My wife has 13 pro with AP Pro 2 too.
We also have Apple TV (last gen, 128+ethernet) - connected to my icloud.
We're having issues with audio share from Apple TV:
1) I'm connecting my pair to aptv via menu
2) My wife connects her pair to her iPhone - the connection message appears
3) I'm opening audio share window in the aptv
4) My wife's iPhone is getting notification to connect to aptv - we're setting agreement
5) In the aptv I'm setting "temporary connection" to her pair
6) While aptv tries to connect to her pair - her iPhone shows the connection message (as in p.2) again and again between maybe 30-40 seconds. All this time the iPhone stays IDLE in the main menu, no media is playing.
So I wouldn't want to say it is disconnection and connection again, it looks like changing connection between iPhone and iPad e.g.
Also all of devices stays in the same position - so it's definitely not an interference problem.
It's also not a carrier problem - we've got the same carrier.
Last time I've got interference issue was about ~6-7 years ago with first AirPods and iPhone 6 and it looked like disconnection and then connection. After switching to XR there were no issues at all.
I've updated my wife's iPhone to the latest iOS, checked her AirPods firmware - it's the same as mine.
Also resetted the AirPods's case (long rear button press until the orange light appears), it was fixed the problem for maybe 2 or 3 days.
Changed different settings, closed all of the apps - no fix.
I've got second iPhone (11 pro), iPad and old 1st model of AirPods Pro for home usage.
She's got only the Apple Watch.
I have no information about her experience with calls, but she's never complained about any problems with calls.
So it looks like the iPhone "looses" the connection while the AirPods trying to connect to aptv and tries to restore it, so aptv doesn't have time to pick up the connection and the iPhone doesn't know about connection to another device and thinks the connection is loosed
