The grandmother who is divorcing her toyboy partner has shared a lengthy post about narcissists.
Iris Jones previously gushed about her beau, Mohamed Ibriham - who is 40 years her junior - during an interview on This Morning, in which she caused quite the stir by spilling all the details about their whirlwind romance and sex life and love of KY jelly.
Iris and Mohamed - who is from Egypt - met on Facebook in 2019 and they tied the knot the following year.

Their relationship, however, has since come to a tragic end as the 83-year-old recently revealed that she’s called it quits with her 37-year-old spouse and thrown him out of her house in Weston-super-Mare.
Iris - whose family didn't ever approve of the relationship - didn't deny the pair 'used to have great sex', but admitted to MailOnline it soon 'dwindled to nothing’, as she did all his cooking, cleaning and tidying.
Though Iris admitted she is now quite happy 'just being here on [her] own with [...] Bengal cat Mr Tibbs'.
But now, Iris has taken to Facebook to share a long diatribe calling out ’narcissism’ and narcissistic behaviour in relationships.
Although no one is named in the apparently cryptic post, Iris does touch on narcissists not knowing ‘what real love is, or for that matter, any kind of affection’.
The post begins: “Narcissism is not just about admiring your image in a mirror and expecting glowing praise and approval from people. It's full title is N.P.D. Narcistic (sic) Personality Disorder, and if you're in a relationship with a narcissist, then watch out!
"Most relationships and marriages are doomed to failure, and a partner can end up utterly confused, bewildered and emotionally wrecked.”
Iris goes on to describe what she considers to be the characteristic of a narcissist, writing: “A narcissist will try to control you and they will alienate you from your family and friends, saying that nobody loves you, your family don't want you and your friends talk about you behind your back.
"A narcissist is manipulative and will try any means to get their own way. You are in the wrong, it is never them. They use people for their own ends and they are completely devoid of emotion, because they lack empathy.
"They enjoy playing mind games with you and will engage in long silences, planning their next move. A narcissist has a love of money, anybody's money.”
Iris adds: "They will lie and cheat to get at your money. Outwardly, a narcissist appears confident and out-going (sic), but inwardly, they are lost souls, insecure and afraid of the outside world This stems from childhood, because N.P.D. is caused by nurture,not nature.
"An over protective (sic) mother who favours one child over her other children, and a father who sees the child getting more attention, will mete out brutal punishment to that child. this leaves the child confused and frightened.
"A narcissist will never admit to their condition, because they flatly refuse to acknowledge that they have it."
She also ends the post by stating that ‘most marriages usually end up in the divorce courts’. It makes one wonder what has spurred her interest in the matter…
Iris says: “A narcissist does not know what real love is, or for that matter, any kind of affection. As I explained in the beginning, they only love themselves. I also believe we all have minor traits of narcissism in our personality, but someone with full-blown narcissism can be devastating to a partner. Most marriages usually end up in the divorce courts, as I have researched the subject of N.P.D thoroughly and I know what I'm talking about.”
Iris is now quite happy being on her own with her Bengal cat Mr Tibbs and her friends.
We wish you all the best, Iris!
