New plaster white washed but need to tile

Ideally you would have been better just tiling straight on to un-plastered boards, but no worries, I would sand-down the walls to be tiled, this will offer a better key and then prime walls with PVA.
Prime walls with PVA...
Aye right...Pbod....ya know what yer talking about ther.....ffs
Cookie score the plasterboard slightly with a Stanley blade then if you want to prime the walls...use an acrylic primer...not PVA..
Or better still get some heavy duty tape(gaffer tape)..put strips onto the wall leave 10mim pull off and it will probably bring the paint off..tile away...
PVA....again....ffs...
