| Well, shavers draw less than 1W, so a socket intended for a shaver may only be rated at 1W and fused at that (just like three-pin-to-two-pin shaver adaptors which all have 1W fuses).
However, even if the radio didn't blow a fuse, you have to think about the UK law concerning what sorts of mains electrical appliance you can and can't run in a bathroom - and its pretty restrictive.
This doesn't seem to be the case in mainland Europe - people often have washing machines and tumble dryers in their bathrooms over there - but, nanny state or not, there is good reason for the UK law.
The main one is that it's not a good idea to have portable electric products running in the bathroom that aren't intended to be used in the bathroom, since you could get killed if the product were dropped or knocked into the sink or bath while you were washing or bathing.
The other possibility, of course, is that you'd be sitting in the bath listening to the radio, decide to change channels and only find after you'd reached out and touched the radio - then died and gone to heaven - that the radio was faulty.
So, my advice is, pay up for disposable batteries; use rechargeable batteries; or power the radio from the mains socket OUTSIDE the bathroom - and leave the radio out there where you can't reach it from the bath or while your hands are in the sink.
