Mould on bedroom ceiling

Our spare bedroom has black mould starting to form on it, it is woodchip paper covered.
It is pretty definitely caused by internal condensation - it is on a single skinned section of ceiling (do they call it skilling ?)
We do use a dehumidifier when we shower but maybe not for long enough - but what is the best treatment to get rid of the actual mould now ?

  • whats the insulation like above in the loft? jg mould spray from B&Q work's great , ventilation and air movement is key to getting rid of mould if your windows have trickle vents open them or open the windows for a few minutes every day to let clean fresh air in .

    I don't believe that there is any space between the tiles and the ceiling to get any insulation - the roof slopes in the bedroom - airbrick vents are present
