You have connected it up wrong, as its back feeding through the lamp, if in doubt contact an electrician.

You definitely shouldn’t be messing about with a light in your bathroom if you don’t know what you’re doing. Stop trying to cut corners at a risk and pay a qualified electrician.

It's quite clear that you need to contact an electrician to configure the wiring correctly. Sound like you have a loop circuit with neutral, line and switched line. Best advice is to contact a competent electrician.
