Toyboy, 36, who married Weston pensioner, 82, says he 'is no scammer' and loves brushing grey hair

A couple with an age gap of more than 45 years has defended their relationship after trolls have described the 36-year-old husband as a scammer.

Iris Jones, 82, and Mohamed Ibraham, from Egypt, live together in Weston-super-Mare. Mr Ibraham - who is married to the pensioner - has called himself a very lucky man and said he loves brushing his wife's grey hair.

The pair frequently use their YouTube channel to discuss their age-gap relationship, reports the DailyStar. In one video, the pensioner can be seen recording her husband as he brushes her grey hair, while he says her hair is "very fantastic" and she is a "clean wife".

The couple then discuss her hair when she says it's getting long, while Mohamed counters by telling her it's long like his, but his is a mess, at which point she tells him his hair is "never a mess" and that he has "beautiful black curls". The couple then sign off from the video by sharing a kiss.

In a second video called 'the best wife,' Mohamed shows off his freshly ironed white shirts and, after saying that Iris irons his shirts and thanking her, he calls her his "good wife", and says "I'm a very lucky man." Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield had previously welcomed Iris to ITV's This Morning in January 2020, where the retired care worker made the pair blush by regaling them with a story about how she and Mohamed used an entire tube of KY Jelly lubricant when they first got intimate.

She says tablets she takes make her skin thin so they can only do it laying down, with Mohamed on top, "otherwise it's very painful and I'll bruise." "I teased Phil and Holly by saying we did it doggy style and the position we manage is a bit like that but not really - it’s flatter," she said.

She admitted she enjoyed shocking people, and insists she's a prude, although she did say she used the KY Jelly.

"It spices up people’s otherwise boring lives to hear about what I am up to in the bedroom," she said. “Saying that, Mohamed is my pharaoh.

"He is pure Egyptian. He’s very, very sexy. He’s a wonderful man.”

Iris, who had been divorced for 27 years, met Mohamed after her son Stephen bought her a laptop and signed her up to Facebook, in early 2019. Love was the furthest thing from her mind, but when she joined a group for atheists she got chatting to Mohamed.

Within five months of connecting online, Iris flew to Cairo for their first meeting in real life. Mohamed, who was living with his parents after his marriage broke down, paid for them to stay in an apartment in the city, and within hours of meeting, they first got intimate.

Initially, they weren’t able to get married because Iris hadn’t realised she needed to bring her divorce papers with her, however a month later she paid another £600 to return to Cairo.

Unable to marry during that visit too, as Mohamed’s divorce had not yet been finalised, it was a case of third time lucky as the pair finally tied the knot during Iris’s third visit, where she followed all government travel guidelines, in October 2020.
