I'm going to be building a false wall for a shower and will be installing a towel rad on the other side of the wall. Is there anything protection wise that I should do with the 15mm copper pipe inside the false wall? (If needs be I can create bends so that there are no joints inside the wall.)

The stud wall will only be 100mm internally so how would I get a 90 deg bend (from vertical to horizontal) to the rad valves without a connection as any connection would be inaccessible after tiling? I didn't think plastic pipe could get such tight bends.
What is the reason for not using copper pipe inside a stud wall?

Nothing, copper is ok, but plastic keeps the joints to an absolute minimum.
In a stud wall you need not do anything to the copper pipes.
Whether you use copper or plastic is entirely up to you, I just prefer not to have any (or as few as possible) inaccessible joints.
