did i need to do english at a levels to do it ?

Would you recommend it/ what do you study ?

You will need English A level to do English at degree level.

However, there are many other degree courses you can do without the relevant A level - have a look at this list :https://www.sussex.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/
At this Uni, you could do Anthropology, Media, Geography, Sociology, Film Studies, American Studies, Law, Philosophy etc......

this doesnt specify subjects

Agreed - but how are you going to write a convincing Personal Statement with relevant examples of your academic interests within English Lit - when you only have a GCSE.

i could get a reference and portray my dividing interest between engineering and english in the past and why i chose engineering over english.

Do you really think that explaining why you did a BTEC in Engineering could in any way help you get an offer for an English degree?

Sounds like you need to do some more research into what a Personal statement should look like - start here, and read the online guide it mentions at the end : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF5-vnhZRx8
