The default is expected to be the first virtual host, but it seems like 
you dont have the correct config for the virtual hosts.

You can check the config using /usr/sbin/httpd -S
that will tell you what the virtual hosts are set up as.

I assume from what you say that you are restarting apache after changing 
the config.

Seems like it ought to - do you get the correct ip address with dig ?? 
or can you ping www.testsiteonvirtualhost.co.uk and do web accesses show 
in logs on the server.

Not usually - you want want to paste your virtualhost config here ...
