Sticky Vicky became famous for exposing herself to hundreds of awestruck Benidorm tourists annually.

Nothing was left to the imagination as her X-rated shows included pulling razor blades and ping pong balls from her private parts.

So adoring fans of the legend can be shocked to listen to Sticky Vicky actually harboured a secret from her British fanbase.

Her daughter revealed to Metro the enduring performer didn’t speak English.

Maria Aragüés Gadea, who took over from her mum when she retired in 2016, told Metro: ‘People don’t know that my mother didn’t speak English, she didn’t understand when a fan spoke to her, she just answered “yes”.’

This revelation comes as Maria pulled within the masses in a return to Benidorm last night.

The unique Sticky Vicky can also be playing a task in her daughter’s recent show.

Maria said: ‘Essentially the most special thing is that before the show, there’s a tribute to my mother.

‘I hope you’re surprised by all the pieces in regards to the show. My intention is for people to depart the show feeling satisfied.

‘There are recent features, choreography, music.’

She took to the stage at midnight at Rockerfellas cabaret bar, where she can be returning this week and beyond.

The unique Sticky Vicky died in 2023 and spent a long time within the Spanish city wowing tourists along with her X-rated shows.

She was born Victoria María Aragüés Gadea on April 15, 1943, in Santa Cruz De Tenerife on the Canary Islands.

Sticky Vicky?s daughter who took over late mum?s saucy shows quits Benidorm Sticky Vicky?s daughter who took over her late mum?s saucy show has quit doing them in Benidorm. Mar?a Gadea Arag??s carried on doing the X-rated magic after her mother - real name Victoria Mar?a Arag??s Gadea - died in 2023, aged 80. Mar?a - who herself has been performing for ten years - has now stopped her shows in the Spanish resort. She had carried on using her mum?s stage name. Benidorm is popular with Brit holidaymakers and expats alike. Maria had weekly shows at the likes of the Palladium, Zodiaco and Rockefellers. Des Bellamy-Wright, who works at the Benidorm Palladium, confirmed that Maria no longer works in the popular Spanish city. Des stated: ?Sticky Vicky doesn't work in Benidorm anymore. ?We have a similar fun show 'Carmen Snake - Sticky Show' which is on every night at 12:45 am.? Maria?s last show took place in November 2024, with no confirmation on why she retired. Paul, 51, from Ripon, who often visits Benidorm, told What?s The Jam: ?It?s a sad loss for Benidorm. ?The Sticky Vicky show has been around for years. ?I?ve heard that she got fed up on some nights only having a few people come and see the show. ?Other performers who do the same shows such as Carmen Snake have now taken her place.? Brits have been left devastated by the news. Danny said: ?Truly the end of an era.? Tristan Allaway said: ?Games gone.? Lukas said: ?The World ain?t what it used to be.? Another added: ?No, this was one of the things I was hoping to see.? One other said: ?For goodness sake.?

The performer even trademarked her name after a legal battle in 2009 and her daughter now uses it.

On the age of six she went along with her family to Barcelona, and started dancing on the age of eight.

While the young star is back in Benidorm for the long haul, she has not shut down the potential of showing off her skills in other countries.

Maria added: ‘I can perform anywhere I’m invited, I don’t set limits for myself.

‘I actually have the chance to perform in lots of countries all over the world.

‘It could be nice if tourists would calm down, but I don’t think they’ll stop visiting Benidorm. It’s unique on this planet.’
