"I thank God for being able to always be by her side, I am left with a broken heart."

Sticky Vicky, whose real name is Victoria Maria Aragues Gadea, was born in 1943 in Tenerife.

The trained ballet dancer went onto become an icon in Benidorm as a result of her exotic performances and her magical vaginal show.

While many considered Vicky's act as sexual, she herself did not deem it to be pornographic, saying: "To do what I do you must have a lot of delicacy. It is necessary to give it a touch of elegance"

A local legend in Alicante, Vicky went onto become a household name in the UK after numerous references to her in the hit ITV comedy, Benidorm.

In July, the legend best known as Sticky Vicky was hospitalised after smashing her knees getting into her car.

She spent days in hospital and was released before being swiftly returned due to pain and possible infection.

At the time of writing her cause of death remains unknown.

Benidorm has lost a true star.

Rest in peace.
