I thought I had it made when I was married to a 37-year-old at 83 – but he was an evil sewer rat who only wanted my cash
SHE made herself a household name after opening up to the nation about her relationship with younger lover Mohamed.
But the now 84-year-old, Iris Jones, who made headlines after tying the knot with her ex, Mohamed Ibrahim, who was then in his mid-30s, has issued a warning to people dating online.
The grandmother who married the Egyptian toyboy, has warned singletons to look out for “scammers and con-artists” on dating websites.
Iris met Mohamed on Facebook in June 2019, and soon jetted off to Cairo, Egypt, to meet him.
The pair got married the following year and Iris was candid about their saucy bedroom antics in an interview on This Morning in 2021, which left then-presenters Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield in stitches of laughter.
But last year, Iris announced that the pair were going their separate ways, explaining that she “replaced him with a cat” after dubbing him “evil” and like a “sewer rat“.
A bitter battle of words ensued with her calling him a “Prince of Darkness” and him claiming she used him as a “sex slave”.
The downfall of their relationship came after Iris, who lives in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, claimed she had been footing the bill for Mohamed’s debts and lending him large amounts of money.
Now, Iris has warned online daters to be wary about who they are getting involved with.
The pensioner took to Facebook to share her advice, as she said: “A warning to all vulnerable women online, chatting to scammers and con-artists, thinking they are messaging genuine males on legitimate dating sites.
“Be aware that they are only interested in getting their filthy paws on your money and will sweet-talk you for weeks, or even months in order to achieve their goals.”
Irish claimed that she has been targeted by four scammers in the last few months and as a result, now regards herself as a “competent scam hunter”.
She claimed that one “evil” individual tried to con her out of thousands of pounds.
She added: “You picked the wrong woman this time, because I make it my business to expose scammers such as you.
The man I married tried his damndest to alienate me from my family

“I have really enjoyed being the puppet master, having you dance my tune.”
Previously, Iris claimed that her former toyboy lover stole £25,000 after moving into her “chicken shack” bungalow, plus an extra £14,000 she sent over while he was still in Egypt, prior to their wedding day.
She also alleged that Mohamed asked her to modify her will so he would inherit her house.
In the post, she said: “The man I married tried his damndest to alienate me from my family in order to make me change my will, but we are a very close family and they have supported me throughout, ever since I became victim to this vile and evil nonentity.”
Timeline of Iris and Mohamed's relationship
The couple began talking on Facebook in June 2019.
In November 2019, Iris visited Mohamed for the first time.
Iris and Mohamed tied the knot in October 2020.
Mohamed came to live in England in November 2021.
The pair split in June 2023, with Iris putting an end to their relationship.
It comes after Iris previously told Fabulous: “I’m never going to be scammed again. I’ll be 85 in September but I’m no fool. My mind is in perfect order.”
She also shared: “These men must think I’m stupid.
I’ve moved on from Mohamed – I don’t hate him, I’m indifferent

“I thought Mohamed was genuine but now I realise was just infatuated with him. How can you love someone you’ve never met.”
But despite their public row, Iris revealed that for the first time, there is no bad blood between her and Mohamed.
Iris concluded: “I’ve moved on from Mohamed – I don’t hate him, I’m indifferent.”
