How do I form a seal between these please

It is, you have a standard set up, nothing overly long at all. A slight slope to the grill will deal with any water build up.

the manrose pipe coming out of the fan is around 1.5 metres long. This then goes into the vertical pipe which is around 1.5m.

3m through an inline duct in a loft is pretty average. Simply sloping it back the way, which costs nothing, should solve it, if not you can look at other solutions.

Again, I have never seen something of this length done in soil pipe.

Maybe it's just me but I wouldn't want condensate dripping out of a roof vent onto the bathroom floor TBTH, if that's the idea/outcome

I was thinking something like this?

This setup will always collect water somewhere. Insulation will help but it won't eliminate the problem. Ideally, you need the exhaust vent to be in a gable end wall. Can you do that?

I used to use soil pipe, which is readily available in long lengths, with fittings, and very sturdy, but, annoyingly, some brands of fan now have spigots that will not fit inside it. You can buy rigid duct from HVAC suppliers, including insulated versions.

I really don't like the convoluted flexi pipe.

I agree about running it horizontally (with a slight fall to the outside) if you can. The initial length will be the warmest and least prone to condensation.

Another issue you'll have is that any accumulated/standing water will freeze during the cold spells, and cause all sorts of other problems.

No. That is too far away.
My ceiling grill is above the shower tray. I am inclined to follow @denso13 suggestion and til everything very slightly towards that. That seems to check-out but please shout if someone disagrees. Thanks for your help with this.

For another purpose, I had an overflow that discharged through the ceiling over the bath. Not an elegant solution. If you can insulate the duct, with the fan starting with the light switch, so it starts running before you turn the taps on, and has a timed run-on afterwards, let's hope it stays pretty dry.
