Apple TV Remote app on iPhone 7 no longer works

I’m now prompted to go to control centre to use the remote for Apple TV . I’m given a verification code to enter into my Apple TV. Not sure how to do that? My iPhone is iPhone 7, Apple TV is older generation and connected to an older “ not- SMART TV”. Is there any way for me to connect anymore? Was really easy using the Apple Remote app on my phone previously!
