And, Mohamed declared, that it was the real thing with Iris and said they would be “together forever”.
How did viewers react?

They also accused the show of “laughing” at Iris.
“@thismorning Enabling the exploitation of an old lady and laughing at her. Should be ashamed of themselves,” said one.
“#ThisMorning clearly has them on as a [bleep]take. Shame they can’t be used as a cautionary tale,” said a second.

“I don’t know, don’t sit right with me,” they added.
“This is hard to watch, so awkward. Poor Iris,” another declared.
