@Ozz 

Help can be found here on how to turn this off and/or change your number including using your online account manager to do this:

You will be sent a 6 digit code to use to turn this off.

@Ozz if you didn't make a separate note of the Recovery Code, you'll have to call, I'm afraid. See the bit in the box towards the bottom of the page from the link @caesarome posted.

The number the Verification Code goes to is the one you gave when you set up 2 step login.

 

Changing your number in your Sky details doesn't change your 2 step login number. 

 

The only way to do that is via the link in @caesarome's post, but as you've discovered, that sends a Verification Code to your old mobile number first to verify your identity before you can change it to a new number.

 

You're not the first to have been caught out.....
