I got an email today the 7th supposedly from sky saying my sky email password was about to expire 6th, would this be a scam?

Yes it is a scam email as your password is not expiring. It looks like these scams emails are doing the rounds as you are the second person today to get this same one as you can see here:

Don't click on the link and mark the email as spam and do the same should you be sent anymore.

Undoubtedly, yes. Just mark it as spam. The link will take you to a fake login site, designed to capture your userid and password,.
