Floating floor over existing tile?

I am considering replacing my tile floors with Karndean or some other floating vinyl/composite type floor planks. Can it go right over the tile, or does the floor tile have to be ripped up first? I currently have small tiles in the bathroom area and larger tiles in another area. It would be so much cheaper to put it over the tile, obviously, but would it be smooth?

This is the kind of flooring that doesn't use a separate underlay. I've installed it over stuck down linoleum without problem in my old house but never over tile with grout lines.
