Reverse lights turn off under throttle

Similar questions have been asked in the past I know, but this ones slightly different.

My 2014 Ibiza has picked up this strange fault all of a sudden. When putting the car into reverse, the reverse light comes on as well as the two front fog lights (Never understood that feature to be honest). However, as soon as I put any pressure on the accelerator peddle, they all switch off. If I let my foot back off though, the lights return. It's really quite a strange one. Made reversing through country lanes last night quite difficult.

I've seen other threads which all seem to point to the reverse light switch, just want to confirm before buying incase someone may know of any other potential causes. This issue seems different as they al point out that their reverse lights are intermittent, but my issue is a constant pattern.

Cheers,
George
