Grandma Iris Jones, 82, is very much in love after reuniting with her husband, 36, after spending a month apart.
Iris met Mohamed Mohamedy on Facebook and within a matter of weeks, the Egyptian national had professed his love. Iris arranged to fly over to Cairo to meet him in person - despite her family and friends raising concerns about the relationship.
But the couple soon took their relationship to the next level, and in November 2020 they married. However, their time together has not been easy.

Last year, Iris was upset when Mohamed's entry to the UK was blocked, resulting in the couple being kept apart for nearly a year. But despite the roadblocks, Iris and Mohamed remain together and have proved the doubters wrong.
In her most recent Facebook post, on April 3, Iris shared a heartwarming tribute to her husband. Describing Mohamed as a 'priceless gem', Iris said: "Love is... Knowing you look like s***after a day's housework and gardening, without a scrap of makeup on dressed in my scruff!
"After a month's absence, my wonderful husband will welcome me just the way I am, because that's what love is all about. Welcome home, Mohamed. Missing you this past month has made me realise what a priceless gem you are.
"This rough diamond of a wife will be more appreciative of you in the future."
In 2021, Mohamed spoke on This Morning about people not accepting their relationship. He said: "Some people attack us - why? I am working, I am working as an inspector, I have business administration, I don't love Iris because I need something.
"I travelled before I met Iris, I am rich man, I have bungalow on River Nile in Cairo."
Iris added: "[The magic] will never go away and never be destroyed. Anyone who says to me 'how do you find love?', you don't find love, love finds you."
