The sudden pᴀssing of ‘The Lip King’ has left his family devastated and “numb”, as two individuals have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. Jordan James Parke, 34, widely known as the ‘Lip King’, was more than just a fan of plastic surgery – he splashed out over £130,000 on procedures throughout his lifetime.
A self-confessed Kardashian fanatic, he became a familiar face on television, never shying away from discussing his pᴀssion for cosmetic procedures on programmes such as Botched, This Morning, and Channel 4’s Bodyshockers.
At the time of his death, he was on bail and under investigation for manslaughter following the death of Alice Webb, 33, who died after receiving a “liquid BBL”, allegedly performed by Parke at his clinic. Despite lacking official qualifications to perform the procedure, he had not been charged with any crime.

His family have expressed their profound grief, stating they have “no words” and that “the world feels so empty without” him, reports the Mirror.
Police were summoned to Lincoln Plaza, Canary Wharf on 18 February by the London Ambulance Service following reports of an unconscious man shortly after midday. “Officers attended alongside paramedics and a 34-year-old man was sadly declared ᴅᴇᴀᴅ at the scene. His next of kin have been informed.
“After police conducted urgent enquiries, a 43-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman were arrested on Friday, 20 February, on suspicion of manslaughter. They have since been bailed pending further investigation,” said a Met Police spokesperson.
Jordan’s death is being treated as “unexplained” whilst investigations continue, but the spokesperson said that the “initial line of enquiry” is that there is “information that suggests the victim may have been undergoing a cosmetic procedure prior to his death,” which officers are ᴀssessing.
We take a look at everything we know about Jordan’s life – from allegations of misconduct to his most controversial comments….
Plastic surgery ‘Sєx’
Jordan frequently discussed his cosmetic surgery addiction with his social media followers, calling himself the ‘Plastic Surgery Advocate’. He confessed on one occasion that he had an almost obsessive urge to keep having operations.
The Kardashian devotee once told his Instagram followers: “Plastic surgery is like Sєx. You can’t have it once. You have to have it over and over.”
He was renowned for being a Kardashian superfan and declared that amongst all the reality TV personalities, Kim was his ultimate favourite, and their appearance served as “inspiration” to him. He once revealed: “It’s the whole family [I take inspiration from], but mainly Kim. But I love them all, their looks, the way they dress, they’re just an inspiration. I wanted my chin like Kylie Jenner’s, with a really defined jawline. I love her jawline and she’s got such a sharp chin.”
Jordan appeared quite different in images before embarking on his lengthy and costly cosmetic surgery journey, which encompᴀssed over 50 procedures and treatments, including approximately four rhinoplasties.
Best recognised for his signature exaggerated pout, his “before” snaps show him sporting considerably smaller lips and brows.
‘Flogging illegal injections’
A BBC probe discovered last year that Jordan had begun peddling “fat jabs” unlawfully. The broadcaster managed to purchase the prescription-only slimming drugs through Parke’s social media platforms.
They claimed that following a “quick Instagram exchange and a payment of over £200 our order went through.
“The kits were delivered by post. We opened the unlabelled white envelope and found needles, mixing agents and a vial of unlabelled white powder. There were no instructions in the package.”
The reporters subsequently sent the medications to a specialist for testing who verified that they contained semaglutide – which is present in Ozempic and Wegovy. Since a prescription is necessary, Jordan was not permitted by law to distribute these medicines to anybody.
The BBC were initially tipped off that Jordan was purportedly flogging the drugs illegally in 2023, when a woman informed them she had bought them from him, only to fall seriously ill.
The 32 year old woman revealed to the BBC she had endured severe vomiting and was unable to leave her bed, with Jordan allegedly recommending she take some anti-nausea tablets to ease the symptoms. She tried using the injections several weeks afterwards, but once more became poorly.
She explained that it gave her “goosebumps” to realise that two years on Jordan was still peddling the medicines. “I’m honestly disgusted. I remember being in A&E and wanting to die because I was suffering that much. It was horrendous,” she said.
Semaglutide, when administered improperly and without proper prescription, can trigger life-threatening medical complications such as pancreaтιтis and thyroid problems.
Liquid BBL death
In 2024, a 33 year old mother of five, Alice Webb, perished following a non-surgical BBL treatment at a clinic in Gloucester, allegedly performed by the ‘Lip King’. He was never prosecuted for her death, but remained under investigation and was scheduled to answer bail next month.
The treatment is non-surgical and involves patients receiving hyaluronic acid and dermal fillers injected into their ʙuттocks. Alice’s BBL was reportedly performed by Parke at the Studio 23 clinic in Gloucester.
She rapidly fell ill at the clinic and subsequently pᴀssed away at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital in the early hours of Tuesday, September 24.
It had begun as an ordinary day, with beauty therapist Alice taking her five daughters, who were then aged between seven and 15, to school in her vehicle featuring pink and white gold tyres. Later that day, she became the first Briton to die following a liquid BBL.
Her relatives have been fighting since then to have the treatment prohibited, with hundreds of complaints lodged with Save Face from those experiencing adverse effects from the non-surgical procedure designed to enhance people’s bottoms.
Parke maintained he “trained with a Harley Street doctor”, before stating he was “fully qualified and insured to carry out the procedure”, but following Alice’s death, he ceased providing it at his clinic.
Ashton Collins of Save Face, the UK’s leading Government-endorsed register for medical aesthetic procedures said at the time, “Liquid BBL procedures are a crisis waiting to happen. They are advertised on social media as ‘risk-free’, ‘cheaper’ alternatives to the surgical counterpart and that could not be further from the truth.”
Alice’s family expressed to ITV their “mixed emotions” upon hearing of his death at the age of 34. “We have heard the news that Jordan Parke has died. This brings mixed emotions, as it inevitably reminds us of the deeply painful loss of Alice.
“Whilst we will never see him face trial, our fight for justice for Alice continues. We remain committed to campaigning for stricter regulations to prevent tragedies like Alice’s. Our focus remains on honouring Alice’s memory and advocating for meaningful change.”
