Loose Women panellists Carol McGiffin and Nadia Sawalha found themselves in a fiery back and fourth during Thursday's instalment of the popular ITV show - each having contrasting opinions on Shamima Begum's new BBC podcast.
Shamima herself came to light after infamously disappearing from London in 2015, leaving the country with school friends Kadiza Sultana and Amira Abase to support Islamic militant group ISIS.
With the Loose Women panel discussing Shamima's new podcast, Carol insisted that she didn't care to listen to what Shamima had to say - sparking a clash with Nadia, Charlene White and Judi Love.

The Mirror reports that Carol said: "I think the majority of people..." before Charlene interrupted with: "Should we not know."
"No no no, why her?" Carol fumed, as she shouted over her colleagues before Nadia then went on to add: "Because she has an incredible amount of information. If we want to stop."
Carol quickly fumed: "What are you doing? Sitting here making excuses for her? I'm sorry, the decision has been made. She's not here and she's not allowed to come back. I don't want to hear what she's got to say."
"I hear that, and I know a lot of people feel that way. What do you think about the idea - if she was radicalised, that we were able to get more information and maybe stop the amount of radicalisation, wouldn't that be a useful thing for this country?" Nadia replied.
In 2019, Begum was found in a refugee camp, but the UK withdrew her citizenship and banned her from re-entering the country. Begum is challenging the decision and insists she no longer supports the group.
"We went to Isis, that was it. It was over, it was over and done with," she said in the podcast.
"This is, I feel, worse than a prison I think it's because at least with prison sentences you know that there will be an end but here you don't know if there's going to be an end."
After her story was made public, it caused a debate among some over whether she should be allowed back into the country.
"I don't think it's actually towards me. I think it's towards Isis," she shared, adding: "When they think of Isis they think of me because I've been put on the media so much but what was there to obsess over?"
