The famous Spanish 'freaki' made 16th place in this year's Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade.
The character of Rodolfo Chikilicuatre who represented Spain at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest with Baila el Chiki Chiki, is to be killed off tonight by the actor who has been playing the character, David Fernández.

He will be killed off on tonight’s BFN late night show on the Sexta television channel with the show’s presenter, Andreu Buenafuente.

Rodolfo Chikilicuatre, was an Argentinean character created for the show initially for a gag about a guitar and a vibrator, but the personality quickly proved popular with the public who voted on MySpace for the spoof song to represent Spain in Eurovision this year. He managed 16th place for Spain, the highest showing for four years, although many across Europe did not see or appreciate the joke.

Meanwhile the song has proved popular as a ring tone, and Chikilicuatre will go down in time as one of the most famous freaks to have been produced in Spain.
