Mohamed stated that he met his wife on social media..

Iris first struck up a conversation with Cairo native Mohamed, last summer on a Facebook group.

He added that they began talking when he decided to defend his religion, and Jones decided to visit Egypt and asked him to marry her.

Mohamed has been criticized continuously by users on social media, he said: "Everyone believes that this marriage was based on interest, whether I needed money or to obtain British citizenship, but this is not true,".

Family Reaction

Recently, Iris announced in a virtual interview with "This Morning" British daytime television program that her family has been giving her the 'silent treatment'.

She stated that her family has not contacted her since she and Mohamed got married.

Iris noted that they had celebrated their union at the local KFC adding that she sent a call for Prime Minister Boris Johnson to let Mohamed come to the UK, where he would be an 'asset' to the economy.

She continued: "He is wonderful. I'm older than his mother and father, my mother-in-law and father-in-law are younger than me,".

"This makes no difference, we love each other and that's all ," Iris concluded.
