  Hi there, looks like an Anthurium, there are over 1000 varieties, but one of the most common sold in the UK as a houseplant is Anthurium andraenum, which has pink or red flowers.

  On looking at it again, I think @Loraine3 is right!

  The nice lady who gave me it didn't know what it was, but she seemed fairly sure that it was not a swiss cheese plant.
  
  Here is the mother plant mine grew from. Does look a lot like a swiss cheese to me.

  Hi @EricsGarden, in this older plant, the splits or fenestrations (windows) are becoming more obvious.  It can take two or three years for them to develop, as this article explains: What To Do if Your Monstera Leaves Aren’t Splitting - Sprouting Indoors | Succulent, Cactus and Houseplant Tips

  That is a Swiss cheese plant and that mother plant is still tiny. The leaves can get several feet across and have beautiful fenestrations.
