Rob expressed precisely :
Obviously (?) the flue joint has failed, but this seems like a bonkers amount of water to be ejected? I'll let the plumber know
about this, but any opinions welcome.

My guess would be that all of that water is simply the condensate and that ice has managed to form in the pipe which has simply
pushed the O ring seal out of the pipe - it is not a flue pipe, it is a condensate drain pipe. Condensate drains are causing lots
of problems due to icing up in this cold spell.

The length of condensate pipe does seem to be excessive, and it looks as if it goes up from the point where it emerges from the
wall. In which case the condensate water would need to fill the pipe to be able to flow down - that cannot be right, is the photo
upside down?

I'd say yes, and no.
No in the sense that the picture shows exactly what the OP saw leaning out
of the window above the pipe with his camera.
