An 83-year-old woman’s Egyptian ‘toy boy’ lover today backtracks on her claim that she threw him out because he was a ‘selfish money grabber’, and instead sensationally accuses her of treating him like a ‘sex slave’ to treat.
Iris Jones left the This Morning audience memorably stunned as she described her first night of passion with Mohamed Ibrahim after traveling to Egypt to meet him.
She tied the knot with him in 2020 and assured critics – including her family – that their relationship would continue despite being more than twice his age.
But three months ago it emerged she had thrown the 39-year-old out of her bungalow near Weston-super-Mare after arguing about ‘anything and everything’ – and replaced him in her affections with her cat, Mr. Tibbs.
Mohamed Ibrahim, 39, has sensationally claimed Iris Jones, 83, used him as a ‘sex slave’
Three years after tying the knot, it emerged Mrs Jones had thrown Iris out of her bungalow near Weston-super-Mare.
Today Mr Ibrahim hit back for the first time, telling Mail Online that she had used him for sex and accused him of ‘destroying my good name’.
He insisted he had been in love with the pensioner and denied he was motivated by money or gaining the right to work in Britain – but said her ‘false’ claims had reached Egypt, making it impossible to to return.
Curiously, he criticized Mrs Jones for trying to convince him to share her distaste for the British royal family, saying they clashed over his belief that Prince William would be “a good king”.
And says he now suspects Ms Jones exploited him from the start to sell stories about their relationship.
“I treated Iris like a queen, but she used me as a sex slave,” he says today.
“I loved her, but she broke my heart,” he added.
Mr Ibrahim, from Cairo, first met the retired cleaner through Facebook in 2019.

The ‘toy boy’ said the pensioner’s claims had reached Egypt and that she had ‘destroyed’ his good name, making it impossible for him to go back
She later raised eyebrows when appearing on This Morning with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield – sending them into hysterics – when she revealed that during their first night of passion, a ‘whole tube of KY jelly’ left her with ‘saddle pain’.
The couple married in November 2020 – and celebrated with a KFC meal – but spent 12 months apart before he finally got a visa allowing him to move into her Somerset home.
After announcing their split, Mrs Jones – who has two grown-up sons – told MailOnline: ‘We had a great sex life but then it just didn’t work out because I was always so tired looking after him.
“I would do all his cooking, cleaning and tidying up.”
She claimed she did all his cooking, cleaning and cleaning work and said she regretted ever meeting him and now felt “stupid” and that “I should have known better.”
But in his first interview since the split, Mr Ibrahim today insisted the pensioner would impose minor rules when he returned home from fourteen-hour shifts as a security guard at a local Tesco.
“She was a good wife at first,” he told Mail Online exclusively.
‘But soon she started treating me like a slave. She used me for sex.”
‘She stopped me from taking a shower, she wouldn’t even let me go to the toilet when I got back from work.

While her recount left hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby in hot water, Ibrahim claims he was ‘mortified’
Mr. Ibrahim claimed that she would not let him eat food from his culture, apparently telling him: “I own you, you are my slave.”
Mr Ibrahim insists he quickly fell in love with Ms Jones after being left ‘heartbroken’ in a previous relationship, but says their life together in England became a nightmare.
“I respected Iris’ culture, but she said I should be more English,” he said.
He said, “She wanted me to forget my past and my family in Egypt,” and did not want him to go home to see his mother.
She even wanted him to share her dislike of the royal family, he claims.
In a Facebook post earlier this week, Ms Jones accused him of constantly demanding money from her.
About the three months they spent together in Egypt, during which they tied the knot, she wrote: ‘I had £40,000 in my bank account and I handed over my bank card to Mohamed every day and we withdrew 1,000 Egyptian pounds every day.

“This was to pay for living expenses, eating out, a honeymoon in Sharm-El-Shiek and generally enjoying the good life.”
But Mr Ibrahim hit back today, denying marrying her to gain access to her savings or ever asking her for large sums of money.
“It’s not about money for me,” he said.
‘It’s not true that I’ve never had a job – I’ve worked all over the Middle East as a welding inspector at power stations, in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. I had a good salary.
‘If I had been looking for money, I would have married a rich woman, not Iris.
‘I’ve had a lot of offers from rich women, but that’s not who I am.
‘We helped each other with money, just like any man and woman.
‘I cared about Iris. When she went to the hospital, I slept on the floor for three days. No one in her family did that.”
Mr Ibrahim claims Ms Jones has unfairly defamed his character – with her accusations even reaching friends and family in Egypt.
“If I’m such a bad man, why did she stay with me all this time?” he asked.
He now believes she had a plan to cash in on the public fascination with their relationship by selling her story from the start.
Iris’ cringe-inducing account of their sex life on the This Morning sofa caused widespread amusement, but Mr Ibrahim insists he was ashamed.
“She talked about private things, our sex life,” he told Mail Online. He added: ‘She had no respect for herself, for her age.’
Mr Ibrahim claimed he is ‘much happier without her’ and has replaced her with a pair of slippers instead
He claims she told him, “Go far away and work, and send me everything you earn.” But he says he responded, “I’m here to take care of you.”
When asked why he tolerated being mistreated for so long, he replied, “Love is blind.” And now he wants to start a new life.
Mr Ibrahim claimed she “destroyed” his trust in people and chose him because he was an “easy target”.
‘It made me feel terrible, I’ve had nightmares, I can’t sleep anymore. “I had to see a doctor,” he said.
But he claims he cannot return to Egypt because her claims have been widely translated into Arabic and read there.
“I can’t go back there until people forget all about this,” he said.
When asked why he married her, he said: ‘I was stupid, I made a wrong decision. People warned me about having a relationship with her. I was blind.
‘Iris is a very good actor. She plays the victim, but actually I am the victim.
“She used her age so she could play the victim.”
Mohamed says he fled Weston-super-Mare after concerns for his safety and is now in hiding.
He also denies that he married her to gain the right to live in Britain, and laughs at the idea that this is a ‘rich country’.
‘It’s very expensive to live in Britain – no one can save money here.’
Mohamed claimed he paid around £200 a week in bills and other expenses during their time together.
He says he now wants a divorce and has seen a lawyer.
She has told how she replaced him with a cat called Mr Tibbs – a joke which Mohamed said ‘hurt’ him. “I replaced her with a pair of slippers,” is his response.
‘I don’t deserve the way she treated me. She didn’t appreciate anything I did for her.
“I’m much happier without her.”
