Iris Jones made headlines over her unconventional romance with her Egyptian toyboy after she divulged details of their rampant sex life on national TV.

Trolls told the grandmother, 83, that Mohamad Ibriham was in it for her money, but she was living in bliss after meeting the 37-year-old on holiday in Cairo.

Two years later, the besotted couple tied the knot and he moved into her Weston-super-Mare bungalow, while also securing a job as a security guard in their local Tesco.

But now the pensioner is single again and says she is filled with regret over the marriage and should have 'listened to her family'.

Mum-of-two Iris has revealed that their sex life dwindled when she had to start mothering him - doing all of his cooking, cleaning and tidying. "We used to have a great sex life but then it dwindled to nothing because I was always so tired from looking after him," she told MailOnline.

"I'm better off without him, and I wish I had listened to my family and friends but what's done is done now. I do regret meeting him and I now know that my best husband was my first husband Gwyn."

After allegedly throwing out the toyboy, the gran introduced a new man into her home just a few days later - a Bengal cat named Mr Tibbs. Spending all of her time with her feline friend, she now claims to no longer miss Mohamad.

Talking about her marriage breakdown, Iris told Closer: "I never expected to fall in love with someone 46 years younger than me, but I did. I adored everything about Mohamed. But it became hard work.

"We used to have a great sex life but then, rather than making love, we ended up arguing all the time about anything and everything. I can't be doing with that. I'm not a lovesick teenager. I’m 83.”

Iris first revealed details about her age-gap relationship on ITV's This Morning, leaving presenter Holly Willoughby red-faced. She said: "Mohamed's got to be careful when he grabs hold of me. He rips my skin, the skin on my legs is very, very thin.

"When it comes to making love it can be painful. I could end up at the A&E with skin rips but we've solved that problem because we sometimes do it doggy fashion." During their time together, the couple received some backlash from people online who had doubts about the legitimacy of their union.

Addressing the claims head-on, the couple shared a jointed YouTube video, with Iris saying: ""They are very misguided, they don't know their a*** from their elbow."

She referred to herself as Mohamed's "beloved wife" before he called the trolls "silly b******" and told them to "go to hell - f*** you". Iris added: "Get a life."
