Default Please help identify this plant

Good morning fellow gardeners.

Could you please help identify this plant I seem to recall I got from
the muppets at Thompsons. I suspect it might be a triffid about to
take over the world. It was meant to be a sweet smelling flowery thing
for a cottage wall, like jasmine I recall. The memory is vague, so is
my knowledge of plants. Anyway it took off like a shot but appears to
be liable to throttle everything in site, but as you can see I have
been lazy anyway in not training the darn thing. The flowers are very,
very small and a complete waste of space. Though the bees absolutely
adore it, but I cant smell anything. You can see it here

What have I done, and is it worth keeping if I trim it a little and
get it to behave?

TIA


I think its Jasminum beesianum, rampant thug, pretty flowers but not
scented, its hybrid is better Jasminum x stephanense
