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?

I work for a housing developer and have seen a lot of plasterboard with the face ripped off / loss of integrity, retiled and do just fine.

That being said, it depends on the size and/or where the tile falls as to whether I’d replace the PB.
