My daughter has it in her garden - it’s so pretty. I have other pictures so if this one isn’t clear, I can send another. Thank you ?

No idea, but it is pretty.
The stems look quite woody so it's probably a shrub, small bush.
Does it have perfume?

It’s a type of Philadelphus, it should have a lovely scent, especially in the evening.

Ok ladies, so the story goes like this..... daughter bought three plants in Poundland about four years’ ago. Two didn’t survive but this one is doing very well as you can see! She couldn’t remember the name until you all so kindly helped out today! Thanks again!

It's Deutzia, not Philadelphus. Very similar, and easily confused with Phikadelphus, it should have a nice perfume, too.

I agree with NanTheWiser.
