*Only* if the LAN side had public IP addresses not RFC1918 addresses which all ntl customers will have. So from that point of view it's impossible for someone to see the LAN side of the router. It is possible to see if there are PCs behind the NAT and how many but not to connect to any of them. Simply the router won't know which PC to send the traffic to.
