Health scare
After a 30 year performance career, Sticky Vicky retired in 2015.
In July, she was hospitalised after smashing her knees getting into a car the month before.
She spent five days in hospital and was discharged, but quickly returned after suffering pain and a possible infection.
On July 3 she wrote 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.”

Sticky Vicky’s cause of death revealed
Sticky Vicky’s daughter has revealed the 80-year-old died of heart failure in hospital.
Maria Gadea Aragues told The Sun her mum passed away at 6am this morning, on her 42nd birthday – a day she’ll “remember for the rest of my life”.
Maria 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.”
Maria broke the news of her mum’s death on social media earlier today, saying: “I regret these words, my mother Sticky Vicky passed away.”
