Solid wall in bathroom, insulation... then what before tiling?

I've insulated my bathroom (external walls) with 50mm celotex on the interior.
It's taped and I'll be looking at some ceramic tiles for the final covering.

Do I plasterboard, skim then tile... or would another covering be more preferable.
Think I'm having a shower tray... but wet room is still a possibility.

Won't be having really heavyweight tiles.

TIA
 
You can plasterboard, and the tile straight on to the plasterboard, and it'll then hold more weight than a skimmed wall. Tiles never come off neatly, and the wall always needs sorting out afterwards, so skimming it is a bit of a waste. But as you're having shower or a wet room, then many will recommend Hardibacker rather than plasterboard.
