The pensioner who made headlines after falling in love with an Egyptian toyboy has hit back at trolls who claimed the newlyweds had split up. Iris Jones, 82, said the 'misguided intruders tell lies because they lead miserable lives' in an online appearance with her 36-year-old husband, Mohamed Ahmed Ibriham, by her side.
The married couple spent time apart last month because Mohamed had to return home to Cairo to look after his sick father. However they say people questioned if the pair had separated for good.
Hitting back at negative commenters, Mohamed, who swept the British grandma off her feet when they met in 2019 through a Facebook page for atheists, told them to 'get a life and go to hell.' Taking a stand together to set the record straight, the couple filmed themselves for a YouTube video, titled 'This is our response to cowardly intruders'.
