She even has a soft spot for her Sunderland Echo after meeting two of our journalists, David Allison and Stu Norton, when they visited her at home.

In a cheeky response video, she said: "I loved them. They were two lovely blokes. Little Nana Iris has taken Facebook by storm.

"If I had been a bit younger I would have fell for one of them. "They were lovely - either one would have done!"

Speaking to the Echo about her new-found fame last month, Iris said: "If I'm making people happy, then I'm happy too."
