Default Wiring extractor fan from the shower pull-switch - yes or no?

I'd like to wire the shower room extractor fan from the shower

found some info where one person said it's a no-no under current
wiring regs but could be done via a contactor, and another says it
can be done without a contactor as long as it goes via a fused spur
from the shower switch.

Any electricians here can tell me which is the legal way to do it as
I'd like to do it through a fused spur from the shower pull switch
for simplicity.


Have you considered of a PIR sensor to detect someone in the bathroom?
Might be additionally useful for when someone does a smelly No 2.
