I need to remove glazed tiles from a bath we are replacing with a free-standing bath.  And I don't want to damage the existing plasterboard do I need to scrape the grout out from the tiles and work from there?

I think you're stuffed. That tile glue is pretty good.

The amount of time you'll spend trying to carefully pry the tiles off the gib without damage isn't worth it. You might get a few off but eventually one will take a piece of gib with it. Save yourself the time and hassle and just rip into it and replace the gib.
