A lovestruck pensioner from Weston-super-Mare has written to the Prime Minister asking him to help her wed her Egyptian toyboy.
UK diplomats in Cairo have blocked Iris, 80, marrying Mohamed Ahmed Irbriaham, 35.
Her plea comes after she revealed intimate details about first meeting with Mohamed live on This Morning.
Speaking about Boris Johsnon, Iris said: "He has got a young girlfiend... he should understand.”
Johnson, 55 is in a relationship with Carrie Symonds, who is 24 years younger than him.
Iris told Mirror Online: “I wrote to Boris because I was desperate. I said, ‘Boris, we’re two people much in love. We just want to be together’.
“I wrote, ‘Dear Mr Johnson, I know you are a man with a heart. I want to marry this gentleman from Egypt. We’re meeting obstacles and setbacks. Time isn’t on my side now. I just want to spend my last days with him’.”
“People don’t like him as PM, but he’s still a man with needs and desires like all of us. I’d write to the Queen too but she’s got enough on with Harry, Meghan and Andrew.”
Last week (28 January), This Morning hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were left in stitches as Iris went into detail about the couple's first night together.
Iris has already bought her wedding outfit - from a charity shop for £19. The jacket was £4, the dress was £2.99 and the fascinator £12.
The pair met on a Facebook group and Iris decided to fly out to Cairo in November.
They went to the British Embassy to check whether they could marry in Egypt. But she didn’t have her divorce papers and they also needed a certificate of no impediment to show there was no barrier to getting married.
Iris says she has since sent numerous emails but claims to have been blanked by officials.
She meets a registrar today (February 2) about a certificate of no impediment and plans a spring wedding in Cairo. Iris hopes to return with Mohamed, visa permitting.
Her sons, in their 50s, accept the situation. Iris adds: “At first they hated him. Suddenly, he’s the best thing since sliced bread.”
Iris is happy for Mohamed to inherit her £220,000 bungalow once she's dead.
“It wouldn’t bother me – I’ll be dead,” she says.
Downing Street has replied to Iris, saying: “The PM appreciates you taking the time to write. Your correspondence has been forwarded to the relevant department.”
Speaking of her bond with Mohamed, Iris said: "I call him my pharaoh - and he calls me Cleopatra."
