Just noticed someone on the Now forums say that Now TV was available on the HD version of the CC… Has anyone here that’s in the UK bought the HD version to potentially confirm?

It's still early to say. They haven't updated their devices list, although it says "Chromecast 2nd gen or later."
The "Android TV 12 requirement" thing seems like a moot point, since the app is officially available on Sony Android TVs (2016 models or later), running Android TV 8 or later.
By the looks of it, the app is only available for devices running android 12
I welcome all new additions, I do wish UKTV and Channel 4 would get on board.
Android 12 is rolling out to the 4K version, wonder if this will work?
Just to add to this:
The poster in question uploaded pics so it appears to be specific to the HD Chromecast. Very strange.
It could be a bug.
Update : They've updated their devices list, which now includes CCwGTV (both HD & 4K), all Shield TV models, and TVs from Phillips, Panasonic, TCL, Hitachi etc.
I have the 4K CCWGTV and can confirm the Now TV app is now available on the play store.
I sideloaded the APK on my 2019 shield last night, 4.7.0. It's running Android 11 AFAIK. It works perfectly for live TV and boxsets.
