Why not as long as you follow all of the local codes that apply to your
area.

If You lived in my house, No !
whatever makes you want it there will fly out the window in a few years
when Muck & Slim from past steamy humid showers and such gets all over
it., it's not like a baseboard heater that you can repaint and make look
good as new again, or is it? where do you plan to place it ? next to the
commode ? nuff said.

From your headers, you appear to be posting from the UK. In
that case, yes you are allowed to have an oil-filled rad
fitted in a bathroom. But no, you are not allowed to fit it
yourself. There are exceptions to that - but I doubt any
apply, in this case.
I would strongly suggest that you use an NICEIC approved
electrician.
The electrician will permanently wire the heater into a
fused spur outlet and ensure that it is correctly certified
for the hazard zone area where it is installed. There are
typically 3 zone types within a bathroom and the heater must
be approved for the zone intended.
Note that using an electrical contractor that cannot
self-certify for Part P could cause considerable costs and
difficulties at a later date - eg when you come to sell the
house or, Heaven forbit, make an insurance claim. You would
have to pay for inspection by your building regs office in
the local authority. Or get the work re-done by a
self-certifying company.
