Just a word of warning on this though - I'm a huge fan of budget smartphones (my main phone is a moto g), but I couldn't stand the lag on my moto e.
I only installed a couple of apps, nothing heavy - but just simple web browsing often ground to a halt for a few seconds. My experience with 8gb androids has always been similar.
So whilst it's a great price, I would only recommend to those who can put up with a sluggish phone.

I have no lag or sluggishness with mine.

With it's quad-core Snapdragon processor I found the Moto-E pretty good - it could certainly run the iPlayer App just fine (which many of the really budget Androids cannot keep up with)
With Marshmallow it should be possible to fold a fast micro-SD card seamlessly into the phones's 8Gb!

Can I ask what apps because I never had such issues with my E2.

Game offers £38, and if you have both a CeX and a Game store in your town, you can get CeX to beat Game's price providing that you bring in proof (usually a printed quote on a receipt).

Cex only pay £29 cash for the phone if it's locked to Vodafone. You are quoting the unlocked price.

I'm going abroad a couple of times in the summer, so will definitely use the SIM for it 500Mb of data roaming. Unfortunately, it appears that the £10 Big Value Bundle is now oos.
