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.
She said: “I have just come from the funeral parlour where I’ve had to identify my mum so they can proceed with the cremation which is going to happen at midday tomorrow.
“My mum was in hospital for the last 12 days of her life and as a family we’ve been with her and have been able to say goodbye to her.
“I was by her bedside when she died this morning.
“She passed away as they were changing her morphine bottle.
“It’s my 42nd birthday today but it’s not going to be a day of celebration obviously.
“It will be a day I’ll remember for the rest of my life."
Following news of her death, fans flooded to social media to pay tribute.
One person said: "God bless you and your family your mum put Benidorm on the map when you said Benidorm every one said sticky Vicky what a beautiful woman a true entertainer RIP."
Another commented: "Sending u all love..... see your mum on my 21st birthday, proper legend in her own lifetime..... May she have the best bed in heaven and rest in eternal peace."
