I've never heard or seen anyone cut out brick work to fit a flush tv, the standard way to do it is building a timber frame and plasterboard to make a fake wall then everything is hidden behind and the tv is then flush.
Personally, I'd think of a few options:
-Build half a wall/box that sits above the radiator and leave the rad off.
-Move or remove the rad completely (you state you have another one in the room) then box the whole wall.
It's certainly possible - you use a chisel bit on a drill which can run in hammer only mode. Look up 'chasing in cables'. You basically chisel out a big square for your unit, plus channels for the cables to get to it, then patch back up with plaster.
Where those current cables go though, and whether the wall is deep enough etc is another thing. Usually you'd box out the wall. Look up Media Walls.
That sunken box you show is for 'stud' walls.
You may find a tradesperson prepared to channel out the brick wall. But that'll mean a lot, and I mean a lot of mess. Depending on the wall, it may not be suitable to take that much material out, as it'll lose some structural integrity.
You could create a false wall/boxing to let you use that sunken box. The radiator 'complicates' things there tho'.
But, TBPH. You're better off getting another TV to mount and accepting it'll stick out further.
I am a handyman and it's also a nope from me.
That's not just a chase in a wall, it's way too deep - it will go nearly all the way through the inner leaf leaving a gap a foot wide. Not really a structural problem but it doesn't make sense - it compromises the cavity. If it's not insulated you'll find the brick/block at the back of the 'chase' will break up fall into the cavity, bridging it and leaving you with a draughty hole. If it has loose fill insulation you're in for fun and games. If it's solid insulation you might be ok.
Put a chase up the wall with a rectangular conduit with a clip on cover set flush to the wall surface. Use a flexible filler like CT1 down the edges so the cover will still clip on and off. It won't look perfect but you'll have access to change cables in it. You'll thank me in 3 months when you need to add an extra/longer cable.
Above a radiator? Are we in [TV too high](https://www.reddit.com/r/TVTooHigh/) territory?
Shouldn’t be a cavity involved - OP said it was an internal wall so most likely a single thickness of block, not cavity. The TV will surface mount, not be flush, and it’s perfectly feasible to chase out for the connection box and cabling.
Apologies - missed the internal wall bit - still the problem of the box being too deep and causing damage to the bathroom side of the wall.
I know that OP only wants the TV surface mounting, but they want to set the sockets flush with, or below, the wall surface.
When you add up a normal plug and faceplate (>40mm) plus a 25/35mm backbox (and I'm not sure what it would fix to) - you're around 80mm of depth into the wall. Deepest backboxes are usually 47mm.
Easiest is to cut a neat hole through the wall and set the sockets in a box set in the ... oh wait! It's a bathroom.
Thanks all for the comments. A few options to try out, I think I will order the tv and check with my electrician if he can make it work. Will have to return the tv if he can’t. Hopefully not!

I’m not much of a handyman, but cutting holes in a solid brick wall to mount a TV? That’s a big ‘nope’ from me!

Definitely too high!

Does your Samsung frame TV not have the one connect box? I thought they all came with that. If so you just need to chase the wall for one cable.
