A loved-up pensioner who fell for her Egyptian toyboy, who is 46-years younger than her, has made a "priceless discovery" about her lover after being forced to spend time apart.
The unconventional relationship between Iris Jones, 82, and Mohamed Ahmed Ibriham, 36, is still going strong three years after the pair met.

In an earlier Facebook post, Iris uploaded a photo of a suitcase, and explained in the comments: "My husband had to make an emergency dash to Egypt as his father was ill". The
