An unconventional relationship that shocked the nation is still going strong three years on. Iris Jones, 82, fell for her Egyptian toyboy, Mohamed Ahmed Ibriham, 36, in 2019, despite their huge age gap.
The loved-up couple married in 2020 but have recently had to spend time apart - making Iris realise what a 'priceless gem' her hubby is. Last month, Mohamed had to take an emergency trip to Cairo to visit his father who had fallen unwell.
Iris welcomed him home last weekend, then reflected on how lucky she is to have him on Facebook. The British grandma, from Somerset, was swept off her feet when she met Mohamed in 2019 through a Facebook page for atheists.
