Default Tiling over emulsion paint


I'm about to fix ceramic tiles on a wall previously painted with Dulux
kitchen emulsion. I've been advised to remove the emulsion before tiling.
The top coat of tough emulsion peels off easily after heating it with a
steam wallpaper stripper but the underlying coat of mat white emulsion
diluted 50% with water is much more tenacious, Is it OK to tile over this
or should I scrape it all off?
