How to remove shower hose outlet?

[JAD]

I would like to remove this shower outlet, so I can see if it is the cause of my leak behind the tiles? I can't see how to? There is no grub screw and no rear access.
Does anybody have any ideas?
It came with my Roman shower and is made by either Sirrus or Bristan (which might be the same company, I'm not sure)
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Does the chrome collar on the tiles pull away (could be masticked) to reveal any screws? Possibly you will just find a hole in the tiles and the fitting will behind but not accessable

Turn it anti-clockwise, it will come undone.

I was brave, held my breath, twisted hard anti-clockwise and bingo! It unscrewed with no problem.
It doesn't look like it was the cause of the leak but I will use PTFE tape (unlike the cowboy who fitted it!) when I put it back on.
Thanks for your advice.
