Expected Behaviour:
To be able to connect to the pihole on my lan when on other networks
Actual Behaviour:
tried accessing the pi via my ddns both on lan and via phone using 4g and it all ways comes back as blocked even tho it is white listed
I'm not following what you are trying to do. Are you trying to use your home IP address as the IP address of the Pi-Hole when you are away from home?
i have dynamic dns setup via freemyip, by going to xxx.freemyip.com it should the pint to my IP assigened by isp and prezent me with the admin page from my pi-hole but it doesn't as pihole blocks it even tho it is whitelisted.
Tried whitelisting it throught the piholes admin page and via the page the pihole dispalys saying it is blacklisted but no joy.

I cannot load you screen shot on imgur. You can post the graphic directly in a reply here.
From the client, what is the output of nslookup gb1980.freemyip.com
From the Pi, what is the output of pihole -q - adlist gb1980.freemyip.com
nslookup gb1980.freemyip.com
C:\Users\Tazd>nslookup gb1980.freemyip.com
Server: DEADZONE
Address: 192.168.1.168
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: gb1980.freemyip.com
Address: 51.6.192.59
pihole -q - adlist gb1980.freemyip.com
Unknown query option specified
Try 'pihole -q --help' for more information
This was my error. No space before "adlist".
pihole -q -adlist gb1980.freemyip.com
No problem on the minor typo we are all human 
pihole -q -adlist gb1980.freemyip.com
Match found in Whitelist
gb1980.freemyip.com
Both these commands show that the site is not being blocked. Nslookup returns the correct address, and the domain is not in any blacklist and is whitelisted. If it does eventually appear on one of your blocklists, your whitelist entry will override it.
But still does not explain why Pi-hole still refuses to allow me access..
What is shown in your pihole log:
sudo grep freemyip.com /var/log/pihole.log
This also shows that the domain was not blocked. As for the warning page, are you still receiving it? If so, clear the cached on that browser and restart the browser and see if the warning page reappears.
tried flushing dns cache and rebooted both laptop and the pi-hole but still same result.
got me stumped :~)
Even installed another browser and it's the same result...
