Hi Paddy123, without access to the old email address, it wouldn't be possible to access the account.
Regardless, you can try contacting our support team directly to look into this matter in more detail.
You can do this by opening an incognito/private browsing window, while not signed into your account, and accessing this link. From there you should be able to contact support.
Make sure to pick an email to which you can receive and send emails from.
