Coleen Nolan compared supporting gay rights to supporting ISIS today, as the Loose Women panel discussed the verdict of Northern Ireland's 'gay cake' row.

This morning, a judge found Ashers Baking Company guilty of discrimination, after the bakery refused an order to bake a cake which was in support of gay marriage.

However, Nolan spoke out in support of the bakery, and left some viewers shocked when she attempted to argue that it would be no different to making the bakery fulfil an order for a cake supporting the Islamic State [ISIS] militant group.

"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," she said.

"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, fellow panellist Janet Street-Porter also incorrectly stated that gay marriage is legal in Northern Ireland, while claiming that Gareth Lee, who had placed the order, had set out to "test" the law.

Jamelia added that she believes the bakery's "religious rights aren't being taken into account", but said that she completely supports "equal rights for everyone".

In 2007, the Celebrity Big Brother runner-up spoke out against gay adoption on the ITV panel show, stating that "there's only so much I want to accept".
