Is this okay to tile over?

Removed the old tiles from the bathroom ready to retile and it took a large chunk of the plasterboard with it. Is this okay to retile over, or does the plasterboard need replacing?

The broken edges need to have support behind them, you can't just leave them loose like that.

Tiling over plasterboard is very far from ideal anyway.
