Sticky Vicky’s daughter returns and wants fans to be ‘shocked’ by new show
Nothing is more iconic in Benidorm than the x-rated performances of the late great Sticky Vicky and her daughter Maria.
So hearts were shattered in the seaside town a few weeks ago when rumour spread that Maria Aragüés Gadea, who also performs as Sticky Vicky, had left the resort.
But British tourists are now in for a treat, as Metro can reveal that Sticky Vicky is making a return to Benidorm tonight.
The legend’s daughter is performing at Rockerfellas cabaret bar at midnight Spanish time (11pm in the UK).
Speaking exclusively to Metro, Maria revealed her new show will be more shocking than ever.
The new Sticky Vicky said: ‘I hope you’re surprised by everything about the show.
‘My intention is for people to leave the show feeling satisfied. There are new features, choreography, music.
‘The most special thing is that before the show, there’s a tribute to my mother.’
The original Sticky Vicky died in 2023 and spent decades in the Spanish city wowing tourists with her X-rated shows.
These shows involved pulling a variety of items from her private parts, including ping pong balls and razor blades.
Vicky finally retired in 2016, after a 30-year career as a performer, and her daughter soon took over and continued the performances.
Maria has also revealed a little-known fact about her famous mother.
She 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”.’
She said she is creating the ‘best’ memories in Benidorm as her mother’s legacy means she ‘remembers everything in a special way’.
While the young star is back in Benidorm for the long haul, she has not shut down the possibility 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 have the opportunity to perform in many countries around the world.
‘It would be nice if tourists would calm down, but I don’t think they’ll stop visiting Benidorm. It’s unique in the world.’
Benidorm locals and British tourists are overjoyed at Sticky Vicky’s return after speculation she had left for good.
Tracy Blevins, who runs tourism website Benidorm Seriously, told Metro: ‘Sticky Vicky is a real Benidorm legend.
‘It is confirmed she is back. I presume she is back for good.
‘Rockerfellas will be her regular venue.’
Sticky Vicky herself first started performing in Benidorm in the 1980s and even trademarked her name after a legal battle in 2009.
In 2023, Benidorm received 2,766,366 visits, with 832,000 of them coming from the UK.
