This looks like something you’ll be able to do or check in the My O2 app. We have a guide to help with that if you’re unsure how to use it
https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/How-to-Guides/How-to-guide-My-O2/ba-p/1275603
And don’t worry if you get stuck because there’s an in-app messaging service you can use to chat with O2 who can help. Just go to the ‘Support’ tab and ‘Start a Conversation’ at the bottom.
If you still need help then the Social Media teams will be on hand, just send them a message

In addition to the advice above, @Liz121, if perchance you are still on the "legacy" O2 billing system, this will help you get to your actual bill detail: Guide: How do I get to the 'Download Bill' page?
It can be easier to get to if you are not logged into the Forum at the same time, so try using an incognito or Private Browsing to to access that part of the O2 website.
As well as current and past bills, you can see your full payment history should you need to - for both Airtime and Device Plan components.
This tool may help you identify further what it is that resulted in the charge: https://www.o2.co.uk/help/account-and-billing/premium-service-checker
And Google search will tell you how to go about stopping the charge, if a recurring one. Good luck!
