is it a big no no to connect a heated towel rail to the lighting
circuit?

Perfectly ok. Unlike ring main circuits, lighting ones are protected at
their maximum continuous rating under any conditions.

But it would be worth checking to see whether the lighting circuit is
RCD protected would it not?

An RCD is really to protect from touching a live wire etc which shouldn't
be possible in this case as it will be earthed.

After all, elextricity, water and bathrooms seem to be a very sensitive
subject.

The towel rail, of course, should be properly cross bonded if it falls
within that area in the bathroom.
