A British pensioner has opened up about her whirlwind romance with her 35-year-old Egyptian toyboy she met online.
Iris Jones, 80, hit headlines when she revealed she was enjoying a relationship with a man called Mohamed, who is 45 years her junior.
The two had been chatting on Facebook, but eventually Iris decided to take the plunge and flew over to Cairo to meet him face-to-face.

The couple wanted to get married in Cairo, but Iris was told by the British Embassy that she needed her divorce papers and a certificate of no impediment to prove she was able to marry again - meaning she's currently having to save up her cash to return to Egypt and marry her lover.
Now she's also appeared on This Morning to reveal more about her relationship with Mohamed, even telling hosts Holly and Phil about their first sexual encounter, much to the hosts' surprise.
Taking to the sofa on the show, Iris, from Weston-Super-Mare in Somerset, recalled: "The first night - pretty rough, it was rough.

"Nobody has been with me for 35 years, I thought I was a virgin again.
"Can I say what we used? A whole tube of KY Jelly."

As Holly and Phil started to giggle, she continued: "And the thing is, I couldn't walk the next day, I felt as if I had been riding a horse.
"Saddle sore wasn't in it. Anyway, we got over that - the sex is not the important thing."
While some viewers tweeted to say they felt worried for Iris, some also found the graphic details hard to stomach.
One wrote: "Some things you don't want to hear while eating your breakfast... Rough sex and KY jelly. Eek."

Another said: "I can't unsee this! Don't get me wrong, I wish Iris all the love and happiness, I loved her honesty but this was a little too much."
But many people said they had a lot of time for her, with one saying she was their 'hero of the week' and another calling for her to have a daily slot on This Morning.
A third also said: "This made my bloody day... So funny bless her. I say good for her... You get it Iris if you can stock up on the KY."
Iris has also previously assured us that she believes Mohamed isn't with her for her money.

She told the Mirror: "We are absolutely equal in every way. He's not using me.
"If anything I'm using him because my love for him is selfish - I'm not going to let him go."
She added: "Mohamed's never asked for money. I don't have any. I've done a lot for my boys over the years and I want them to understand that it's time for me to be selfish now and look after myself."
And it's a sentiment Mohamed also echoes, having explained: "This is not about money. Money is not everything. It cannot buy you happiness.
"Love has no age and knows no limits. Iris and I found we understood each other well and felt the tenderness. I do not care about anyone's opinion - only what feels good to me."
