Jordan James Parke: Reality TV star dubbed 'The Lip King' dies after being arrested over mum-of-five's death after liquid BBL procedure
A reality TV star dubbed ‘The Lip King’ has died following his arrest in connection with the UK’s first liquid BBL death.
The sister of James Jordan Parke confirmed that the TV star passed away last week in a statement on social media. She said: “I simply have no words to even comprehend this.
“This is going to be the hardest post I will ever have to write. Our beautiful, funny most amazing Jordan James Parke passed away on Wednesday the 18th of February 2026.
“We as a family are numb, shocked and heartbroken. There will be some unkind messages that will be posted regarding this heartbreaking news but please if you knew Jordan you will know that none of what will be posted is true and please keep him in your heart!
She added: “Jordan, I have no words to explain the sadness and heartbreak that we are feeling; you were our best friend, our whole world, our everything! We love you more than anything in the world!
“There are simply no words to express how grateful that we had you in our lives. The world feels so empty without you and I don’t know how we are going to carry on.
“Jordan we love you so much. I hope you are dancing in the sky with Nan and Granda. Goodnight, God bless, beautiful.”
Parke became known on social media for his love of cosmetic surgery, earning himself the moniker ‘The Lip King’, and previously touted Kim Kardashian as his idol. He went on to appear on the reality TV show Botched, on which he spoke about his experience with cosmetic surgery including admitting that he had spent more than £130,000 on procedures.
In September 2024, Parke was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after the death of mum-of-five Alice Webb, 33, after she underwent a liquid BBL procedure at Parke’s clinic in Gloucestershire.
As of December 2025, Parke had been released on bail and had not been charged in connection with her death. Ms Webb’s death was believed to be the first death in the UK as a result of the non-surgical, liquid BBL procedure.
A second person was also arrested at the time of Ms Webb’s death, but they were later released with no further action taken by police.
