Is it possible to remove a hallway rad which doesn't have a TRV then run the heating as normal with the valves closed and rad off?
Rest of rads have TRVs

Yes. It’s no different from having the rad on, filled but with the valves closed - as long as that’s not the room with the thermostat.

But there's a good chance it will be. If so, depending on the house, could get round it by leaving a door to another room open, so the thermostat sees the heat from that, and maybe turning the stat down a tad. Otherwise just use the stat as an on/off switch.
Of course, if it's a temporary arrangement, this time of year it's not likely to be an issue, the stat won't be calling anyway.
Heating wont be running, too bloody hot at the moment, however when hot water turns on heating gets a little hot, especially hallway rad (the one with the stat). I'm thinking faulty diverter head but havent checked properly, but I'm guessing that wont cause an issue?

Could be the head or the valve itself. Or, if it's being going on for a long time, the heating return pipes not being commoned before the HW cylinder return comes in. This has been discussed a few times on this forum.
Not in itself, but if the hall rad is the only one without a TRV, and the heating comes on in future, need to have at least one TRV wide open, as if they all close down the boiler/pump will have no flow.
