Echo - Spotify - Apple TV connection

[Newbie2602]

Hi all,

New here and apologies if this has been asked before...

I am using my Amazon Echo to play music via my Spotify account. This is reflected in the Spotify iOS app on my iPhone. I am then connecting my iPhone to my Apple TV so the sound if played through the TV and the artist/track information is displayed on the TV. So far so good...

If I then ask Alexa to play another artist/track, a message box appears in the Spotify iOS app stating "You are listening on xxx's Echo Dot" and giving the options to select either "Continue" or "Listen on this iPhone" and the new track begins playing through the Amazon Echo Dot speaker rather than through the TV. If I select "Listen on this iPhone", the music playback is then transferred back to the Apple TV route.

Clearly I don't want to have to manually select the "Listen on this iPhone" prompt every time I make a song request to Alexa. Is there a method of configuring it so that the iPhone to Apple TV connection is maintained throughout?

Many thanks in advance.
