Born in Tenerife in 1943 she became an internationally adored figurehead for the legendary tourist destination in Spain.
The unorthodox Sticky Vicky show has left countless revellers with their jaws on the floor, with her famed antics with razor blades and ping pong balls spreading around Europe.
Countless Brits have been to see her shows, including Owain Laing who exclusively told the Daily Star about his trip to see her back in April. He said: "My girlfriend is quite posh and we have been to the Maldives and stuff and I was like ‘let’s go Benidorm’ and she was like ‘eh OK’. She said she wanted the full Benidorm experience and I asked whether she was sure…
“So I brought her to a pub where Sticky Vicky was on and we sat there like ‘holy s**t, what the f*** is this’? It’s an eye opener and a life changing experience that everyone doesn’t need to see. Everyone needs to see it but they don’t need to see it at the same time.
“The capacity was probably a hundred and it was rammed from little chavy kids to old posh people with yachts, everyone was there. You just look round at people’s faces and everyone has a cartoon face like all mouth and jaw and they are thinking ‘what is this’…
“But you know what you are getting yourself in for and you know what it is all about and you have to see it with your own eyes.”
