Iris, 82, makes X-rated confession on This Morning as she reunites with young Egyptian lover

This Morning star Iris, 82, finally reunited with her Egyptian husband, 36, as she shared her secret to finding true love.

Grandma Iris Jones was kept apart from her lover for 11-months following several visa issues.

The pensioner met her young lover, 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.

Popular guest Iris first appeared on This Morning back in January, where she spoke of her dream to marry Mohamed and left presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield stunned after detailing their sex life.

But Iris was incredibly upset when Mohamed's entry to the UK was blocked, despite the couple being married.

However, after nearly a year apart, Iris and Mohamed have finally been reunited.

But Mohamed admitted on This Morning some people do not accept 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."

However, the couple are settling down, with Iris saying Mohamed was adjusting to life in her bungalow in Somerset.

Iris said: "We're going through problems now because Mohamed is adjusting to life in the west and I'm adjusting to having a man around the place.

"And he is very very tidy now."

Phillip asked: "You've been in quarantine, you've been emotionally very stressed, now that things are calming down a little are you looking forward to, perhaps, having a little more time together?"

Iris said: "Yes, well our time isn't restricted so we don't need to ration ourselves.

"[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."
