For anyone else looking for this I’ve found a solution, probably not the best but it works!

The featured image code higher in the page sets an ‘$image_url’ here:

<?php
$image_id = get_post_thumbnail_id();
$image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src($image_id,’large’);
$image_url = $image_url[0];

echo ‘‘;

the_post_thumbnail(‘medium’);

echo ‘‘; ?>

Then I just compare the gallery image to that and hide if they are the same

<?php $images = get_field(‘image_gallery’);
if( $images ) { ?>
<div id=”imagegallery”>

<?php foreach( $images as $image ) {

if ($image_url != $image[‘url’]) {
?>
” rel=”shadowbox[gallery]” >” alt=”<?php echo $image[‘alt’]; ?>” class=”alignleft” />

<?php } //End URL Check (to hide featured in gallery)
} // End image loop ?>

</div>
<?php } ?>

UPDATE – Editor has made a bit of a mess of the above, but you get the principal!
