X-rated Benidorm star Sticky Vicky in hospital after suffering horror fall

The Benidorm legend known as 'Sticky Vicky' was rushed to hospital after suffering a horrifying fall. Victoria Aragues Gadea, 79, smashed her knees when getting into a car at the end of June.

The retired dancer is known for her X-rated magic shows in the Spanish holiday resort that is popular with British tourists. She spent five days in the hospital, where she had staples inserted into her knees before she was discharged.

The Mirror reports that unfortunately, she went back to the hospital after suffering pain and fears that it may be infected. On July 3, she shared on Facebook : "Hello everyone. First of all, to know that I'm fine, last week I had an accident before I got into the car and I fell to the ground.

"We spent five days in the hospital. After being discharged and returning home, we are here again today, since it hurts a lot and you have to see if I have an infection.

"I hope not and we can go home today. We will report the evolution. Take care." There hasn't been an update since.

Get well messages flooded in from fans around the world. One said: "Nasty injury. Please take care and get well soon."

Another added: "Oh my God, that was some fall. I hope you get better soon." One said: "Get well soon and have a speedy recovery."

Vicky spent 35 years entertaining millions of tourists with her saucy routine. It included pulling objects - like ping pong balls and beer bottles - from inside her body.

She retired in 2016 aged 72. She was later diagnosed with uterine cancer. An estimated six million people have seen her show since she started it in the mid-70s.

Her daughter Maria Gadea Aragues has since taken over her mum's saucy routine. She was also a supporting character in the first and sixth episodes of the third season of the British TV show Benidorm.

Vicky was brought on as a guest to open up Mel's Mobility Shop in the first episode she appeared in. In the next episode, she was in, another character had to pass as her while on holiday.
