I've noticed recently on one of my queens there is a small creature of some sort residing under the queens neck, it moves around but never comes off, what is it?

Most likely is a mite. Look at the other ants, if she has one there will be others.

She has no others Mikey, just eggs, I only found her a week ago.

Hopefully you can get rid of the problem before workers hatch.

My iPhone camera isn't good enough to see it, but it looks a lot like this image I found on google. (https://gyazo.com/2692f988277c51c6f4bfc94e84b82675)
Those two antenna are the things that caught my attention, at first I thought my queen had some sort of deformity, then upon closer inspection I saw it was a separate organism.

The image looks like a clover mite. They only eat grass, leaves etc but I have no idea why it would be on your queen. At least try taking a photo of the mite yourself.
