A bloke who goes to Benidorm twice a year took his posh girlfriend to see Sticky Vicky perform live – but joked about being left with PTSD.
Owain Laing first went to Benidorm as a baby and has been jetting off to the popular Spanish resort ever since.
But despite being a regular, he had never seen Sticky Vicky’s X-rated act, until now.

It has been a favourite among Brits for almost 40 years and it was started by Victoria Aragues Gadea who last year smashed her knees in a horror fall.
She retired in 2016 before her daughter Maria took over the saucy routine.
Owain, who saw the show for the first time earlier this year, told Daily Star: “My girlfriend is quite posh and we have been to the Maldives and stuff and I was like ‘let’s go Benidorm’ and she was like ‘eh OK’.
“She said she wanted the full Benidorm experience and I asked whether she was sure….
“So I brought her to a pub where Sticky Vicky was on and we sat there like ‘holy s**t, what the f*** is this’?
“It’s an eye opener and a life changing experience that everyone doesn’t need to see . Everyone needs to see it but they don’t need to see it at the same time.
“The capacity was probably a hundred and it was rammed from little chavy kids to old posh people with yachts, everyone was there.
“You just look round at people’s faces and everyone has a cartoon face like all mouth and jaw and they are thinking ‘what is this’…
“But you know what you are getting yourself in for and you know what it is all about and you have to see it with your own eyes.”
The Sticky Vicky routine involves beer bottles and ping pong balls being pulled from inside her body.
Owain, a 31-year-old from Wrexham who restores motorbikes, is a big Benidorm fan.
He told us: “It is so s*** that it’s good.
“It’s so scummy and horrible but that is what makes it good. You go there and you go ‘my god this is s*** but this is amazing’. I love it.
“My mum and dad poisoned me since I was like one and it was the first holiday I went on.”
After Owain spoke about the experience on TikTok, he received plenty of comments from those who had seen Sticky Vicky themselves.
One person replied: “Seen the original Sticky Vicky in 95 then her daughter in 2002.”
Another wrote: “I saw the original OG Sticky Vicky 10 years back with my husband… never looked at a razor blade or a bottle opener the same since.”
A third added: “Mate of mind proposed on stage with the OG Sticky Vicky, what a time to be alive that wasn’t.”
Maria Gadea, 40, first witnessed her mum's bonkers routine when she was just 14.
Speaking with Daily Star, she remembered: “I liked the show and I had no idea I could do something like that. I remember she was super shy and worried about what I would think.
“I told her that I loved seeing her and I liked her show.
“It never turned out for me to see her do a daring routine, my mind was already open and very mature.
“I could process what I saw in addition to having my own opinion.”
And asked whether she believes she is now living up to people's expectations, she added: “I have never been afraid.
“I am hardworking and constant, whoever cannot appreciate my art I feel sorry for them. We cannot please everyone.”
