Aol UK are slowly migrating their people over to Carphone Warehouse IP addresses. When that happens to you you'll always get a UK Ip but until then whenever you connect it's pure luck and it may be that when you connect you get an Aol Ip which can sometimes show you in the UK or the US.

If you use Aol's (horrible) browser then that should correct it for you and show you as being in the UK when you go to ITV.
Alternatively download Aol Desktop which isn't nearly as bad (but still not very good). As soon as you sign in at the top-right of Aol Desktop you get put through the proxy that shows you as being in the UK
Just don't click any option that wants to make Aol your default browser then you can leave it only for when you need it.
