Is there nowhere in the loft I can spur from as the tv will be wall mounted close to the ceiling.

you are not being serious are you?
yes why?
Fumes from car, petrol fumes, fire and smoke from burning car would come up through the hole into the bedroom.
Thats why the ceiling of the garage is fire proofed ( or should be ).

Assuming it has the spare capacity I don't see why you couldn't put a small CU in the loft turning part of the shower circuit into a submain supplying the now much shorter shower circuit and a circuit for your TV.
"In the loft" is not readily accessible to be re-set should the power go out mid shower..
True but provided the location in the loft is sensible it shouldn't be much more of a pain than a CU at the back of a cupboard or similar.
If it was a lighting circuit's breaker I would agree with you but I don't see breakers on a dedicated shower circuit or a dedicated TV circuit tripping unless there is a fault.
