Engine revs when chaging gear but my foot isn't on the accelerator

2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2
Car: Vauxhall Corsa
Year: 2011
Variant: 1.2
Categories: Gearbox & Clutch
This only started happening on Friday, on my way to Liverpool, when i am changing up a gear and i have pressed the clutch and released the accelerator, the car is revving quite badly, like im really pressing down but my foot is fully off the pedal. It is worse when i stop and have to set off again, like at traffic lights or a junction but its revs worse (i don't know the technical terms but it reaches up to no 3 on the revs)

First thing I'd try is a throttle body reset.
Relatively simple and quick but it does need Vauxhall level diagnostics.
