Getting a firestick and installing it on there seems like the obvious solution.
No idea if it would be the same interface though. Probably not I'd guess

If I understand correctly, I think you can just get a Youview box and use it like a freeview set top box. So they have the same interface, catchup, apps etc, but none of the BT paid-for stuff.

If they don’t need to watch two things at once, there are cheapo wireless HDMI senders that will also pass the remote signals back.

BT TV on a second telly?
Trying to help family with their TV setup. They have BT TV connected to one telly and wondering how to get it on a second telly. Getting the subscription channels (like BT Sport) on the other telly isn't an absolute must but it'd be nice. They just want the same interface on both TVs.
Second telly has a suitable network connection and aerial available.
BT used to do a separate "Extra" box (https://www.bt.com/help/tv/getting-set-up/can-i-watch-bt-tv-in-more-than-one-room-) but I can't find any reference to this any more and they just have this "BT TV App Extra" shit now which isn't an actual box. The telly in question isn't a smart telly and they don't want to have to upgrade the telly.
