what would the wiring look like behind the switch, which includes the additional light.

All help appreciated.
 
Connect new light red or brown to the the new switch L1. (Switched Live)

Connect new light black or blue to the neutral block. (Neutral)

Fit a short lenght of red or brown wire between C and C. (Permanent Live)

Earth to earth.
