Born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife on 15 April 1943, Leyton moved to Barcelona with her mother when her father left the family.

Leyton's show was successful and she decided to stay in Benidorm, partially due to its influx of tourists.

She later pulled several objects from her vagina, including ping-pong balls, eggs, handkerchiefs, sausages, razor blades, and machetes.

[6] In 2009, the Audiencia Provincial of Valencia determined that María Rosa had acted in bad faith and generated confusion by registering the name, and awarded Vicky the legal trademark for her stage name.

[1] Due to her age and the tenure of her show, Vicky was regarded as a living Benidorm legend by some British tourists and Icelandic students.

[8][9] Leyton, surprised by her success, wrote on her webpage: "I never thought I could be on a stage at my age, and it is all thanks to the English public".

[7] Vicky was a supporting character in the first and sixth episodes of the third series of the British TV sitcom Benidorm.
