In a 'Shirley Valentine' scenario, former Tesco worker, Joanna Girling, 47, says she has finally found love after travelling overseas to start a new life. The middle-aged Brit now plans to tie the knot with an Egyptian toy boy. Joanna says she and Hysm Fygo, 39, will wed in Cairo in January.
The couple met after Joanna was dumped by another younger man from Egypt. She says her and Hysm's love is real adding that: “I’m excited that I’m going to be his wife for real – when he proposed we’d been living together and it felt right. The spark is still there, every day when we’re together it’s great it’s just hard being apart from each other."
Joanna's story begins in 2018. She explained to Hull Live that she left her Brit husband after meeting Egyptian Hassan on holiday in Egypt that year. Joanna claims she would sneak off to sleep with the waiter while her husband slept – and broke off her marriage when they returned home in July of the year.
