Sticky Vicky's daughter has shared a heartbreaking statement after her mother passed away on her birthday.
The Benidorm star - whose real name is Victoria María Aragüés Gadea - passed away earlier today (29 November), her daughter Maria announced.
"I regret these words, my mother Sticky Vicky passed away today at 6 in the morning, I can't believe it," she wrote on social media.

"She has gone, surrounded by her family, with all of our love. I thank God for being able to always be by her side, I am left with a broken heart."
The retired performer was loved by Brits for her X-rated performances in Benidorm, and over the years she shared countless eyebrow-raising stories from her time as a performer.
After she retired in 2016, aged 72, her daughter María followed in her footsteps, performing her own 'sexy magic shows' under the same name of Sticky Vicky.
However, earlier this year, Victoria's daughter said her mum had been diagnosed with dementia.
In a lengthy statement, Maria revealed that her mother passed away on her 42nd Birthday.
