Yesterday a Christian-owned bakery was found guilty of discrimination after they refused to make a cake carrying a pro-gay marriage slogan.

Speaking out in support Coleen said: "At the end of the day, if you went in there and two days later they said, 'We don't want to make your cakes because of our beliefs', you'd just never go back to that shop and you'd probably say to all your gay friends, 'Don't go there, they're anti-gay', and boycott it.

"What about if somebody walked in and said I want a cake and I want the whole Islamic State on it and how I support it and how I support them killing our people. Because it's a business, do they have to make it? And if they turn around and say they're not making it, we'd all applaud it."

During the debate Janet Street-Porter also managed to raise eyebrows when she incorrectly claimed that gay marriage is legal in Northern Ireland.

She also said the gentleman who had placed the order had set out to ‘test’ the law.

In response to Coleen’s comments viewers have demanded she lose her role in the panel.

One Twitter user wrote: “Coleen Nolan. What a vile, toxic woman with vile, toxic views. Comparing gay equality to ISIS? Needs to be sacked @loosewomen”

While another added: “Coleen Nolan is so stupid & ignorant comparing gay rights to ISIS. She should be sacked.”

We've reached out to Coleen's rep for comment.
