No you dont have to remove it completely. What you will have to do is remove all the loose and flaking sections with a filling knife and sand back the edges. To do this correctly you will have to wash the walls down with a fungicidal wash , apply a sealer coat [Owatrol or zinsser] and then use a washable emulsion paint over that as it will take to the moisture level in the bathroom better than a standard emulsion
