Jordan James Parke called himself the Lip King. He spent fifteen years building a public identity around cosmetic transformation, accumulating over £130,000 worth of procedures, four appearances on reality television, and a practitioner business that put him on the other side of the needle. He died on February 18, 2026, at Lincoln Plaza in Canary Wharf, London — aged 34 — in circumstances police believe may be linked to a cosmetic procedure. Two people have since been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. He was on bail at the time of his death for the manslaughter of someone who died during a cosmetic procedure he performed.
This article is not a standard obituary. Every other outlet has covered the headline. What most have not done is map the full arc — from a 19-year-old in Dudley picking up his first filler appointment to a man on bail, still trading illegally, dying in the exact manner his own alleged victim did. That is the story.
The Complete Jordan James Parke Timeline
Every confirmed event from his first procedure to his death — compiled from court records, BBC investigations, ITV reporting, and police statements.
First cosmetic procedure at age 19
Jordan begins his cosmetic surgery journey at 19 years old in Dudley, West Midlands. He would later describe this as the moment that set off an addiction he never wanted to stop. He said in a 2016 interview that he 'never hated' himself but that surgery became a 'hobby' over time.
Goes viral — the Kim Kardashian obsession breaks mainstream
Jordan hits the headlines when news of his £100,000+ spend on cosmetic procedures to resemble Kim Kardashian circulates widely. His signature oversized pout becomes his calling card. He tells media: '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.' He also begins publicly identifying as The Lip King.
First Botched appearance — doctors warn him
Jordan appears on E!'s Botched alongside surgeons Dr Terry Dubrow and Dr Paul Nassif. He seeks help with his leaking lip fillers. The doctors decline to perform further procedures and explicitly advise him against continuing. He tells them: 'I want just a little bit of definition, and they just got bigger and bigger. Any attention is good attention.' The episode airs to significant interest in the UK.
This Morning appearance — 'My obsession could kill me'
Jordan appears on ITV's flagship daytime show This Morning in a segment titled 'My Obsession With Kim Kardashian Could Kill Me.' He openly admits he has no intention of stopping procedures despite the title's warning. He also appears on Channel 4's Bodyshockers around this period. His quote — 'Plastic surgery is like sex. You can't have it once. You have to have it over and over' — becomes widely shared and defines his public persona.
Second Botched appearance — the pivot to practitioner
Jordan returns to Botched, this time revealing he has transitioned from patient to practitioner. 'I'm obsessed with fillers, so I decided to go and train to become an aesthetician, and that's what I do now, and I love it,' he tells the cameras. He seeks a second nose job — the doctors decline over concerns about his ability to breathe. By this point he has had two nose jobs, a chin implant, neck liposuction, lip filler, cheek filler, smileline filler, jawline filler, a thread facelift, Botox, and facials.
Builds The Lip King Aesthetics brand
Jordan operates in the aesthetics industry, identifying himself online as an 'advanced practitioner and trainer.' His Instagram page under The Lip King Aesthetics markets his services to clients. He co-runs Studio 23, a clinic operating out of a residential address on Sandhurst Lane in Kingsholm, Gloucester, with fellow beautician Jemma Pawlyszyn. Despite having no formal surgical qualifications, he insists he is 'fully qualified and insured' to perform the procedures he offers.
Alice Webb dies at Studio 23 — the UK's first liquid BBL fatality
Alice Webb, a 33-year-old mother of five from Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, drops her daughters at school and drives to Studio 23, expecting to be home for the afternoon school run. She undergoes a non-surgical liquid BBL — a procedure involving large volumes of hyaluronic acid dermal filler injected directly into the buttocks. She becomes unwell during or shortly after the procedure and is taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. She dies the following day. Her death is subsequently reported as the first fatality caused by a liquid BBL in the United Kingdom.
Arrested on suspicion of manslaughter — first arrest
Jordan is arrested by police on suspicion of manslaughter in connection with Alice Webb's death. He is released on bail. A second person — Jemma Pawlyszyn — is also arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and later released with no further action. Jordan tells MailOnline: 'I can't talk to anybody. I was arrested but I've been released.' He insists he was 'fully qualified and insured to carry out the procedure.' Gloucestershire Police describe Alice's death as a case with 'numerous complexities.'
BBC sting operation — caught selling illegal semaglutide injections
A BBC investigation reveals that despite being on bail for manslaughter, Jordan is still operating in the cosmetics industry — this time selling £200 weight-loss injection kits online via Instagram. A BBC journalist purchases a kit. It contains mixing agents, needles, and a white powder independently confirmed to be semaglutide — the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, which is a prescription-only drug in the UK. Jordan had previously been approached by a woman in 2023 who claimed to have been hospitalised by similar products sold by him. Metropolitan Police confirm that selling weight-loss jabs without a prescription does not technically breach his bail conditions. Alice Webb's family describes being 'incredibly angry' upon learning he is still operating.
Still on bail — no charge issued
As of December 2025, Jordan has not been charged over Alice Webb's death. He remains on bail and is due to formally answer it in March 2026. His Lip King Aesthetics Instagram has been set to private, but he continues a Facebook presence promoting weight-loss products and teeth whitening kits. Reports from this period describe him posting from Cape Verde, appearing to live comfortably despite the ongoing investigation.
Found unconscious at Lincoln Plaza — pronounced dead
At 12:38pm, the Metropolitan Police are called by London Ambulance Service to Lincoln Plaza, Canary Wharf. An unconscious 34-year-old man has been reported. Officers attend alongside paramedics. Jordan James Parke is pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin are informed. Police immediately treat the death as unexplained and begin reviewing information suggesting he may have been undergoing a cosmetic procedure at the time of his collapse.
Two arrested on suspicion of manslaughter
Following urgent enquiries, Metropolitan Police arrest a 43-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman on suspicion of manslaughter in connection with Jordan's death. Both are released on bail pending further investigation. Police have not publicly identified either individual or detailed their alleged roles. A post-mortem examination is ordered. The case is described as ongoing and unexplained.
Sister Sharnelle announces his death publicly
Jordan's sister Sharnelle posts a tribute on Instagram. 'I simply have no words to even comprehend this,' she writes. '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.' Friends describe him as 'the life and soul of the party' — 'fabulous, crazy and kind-hearted.'
Gloucestershire Police close the Alice Webb investigation
Gloucestershire Police confirm that the criminal investigation into Alice Webb's death is now being closed — because the man on bail has died, meaning no charges can be brought. They inform Alice Webb's family and confirm that inquests will be held into both deaths. Alice's sister April speaks on behalf of the family: '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. While we will never see him face trial, our fight for justice for Alice continues.'
The Irony of the Whole Story
Jordan James Parke died — allegedly during a cosmetic procedure — while on bail for the manslaughter of someone who died during a cosmetic procedure he performed. That sentence needs to sit for a moment before the rest of the story makes sense.
Alice Webb walked into Studio 23 in Gloucester on September 24, 2024 for a liquid BBL. She expected to be home for the school run. She died in hospital the next day. Jordan was arrested, bailed, and continued working in the industry that killed her — selling weight-loss injections while awaiting a March 2026 bail date that he would never reach.
On February 18, 2026, Jordan was at Lincoln Plaza in Canary Wharf. Police reviewing the circumstances believe he may have been undergoing a cosmetic procedure. He was found unconscious. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Two people were arrested for his death — on suspicion of manslaughter.
The same charge he was facing. The same cause. The same industry.
The Botched doctors told him to stop in 2015. Then again in 2019. He became a practitioner instead. He performed the procedure that killed Alice Webb. He continued operating while on bail. He died, investigators believe, from a procedure carried out on him. The industry Jordan spent 15 years both consuming and selling ultimately claimed him in exactly the same way it claimed his client.
Whether that reads as tragedy, as poetic justice, or as an indictment of an entire unregulated industry depends entirely on where you sit — but it is impossible to tell this story without stating it plainly.

Who Jordan James Parke Actually Was
Jordan was from Dudley in the West Midlands — a working-class town in England's Black Country. He never positioned himself as a celebrity in the traditional sense. He was a beautician and influencer who understood early that controversy was currency. His willingness to document every procedure, share every opinion, and court every headline was deliberate and savvy.
Friends who have spoken since his death describe someone unrecognisable from his public persona. 'Fabulous, crazy and kind-hearted' is how one tribute describes him. 'The life and soul of the party.' His sister Sharnelle, in her Instagram tribute, wrote that he was 'our best friend, our whole world, our everything.' The gap between the controversial public figure and the person his family knew is one of the most human details of this entire story.
His decision to become a practitioner after years as a client was, in its own way, logical. He understood the industry from the inside — what clients wanted, what the procedures involved, what the margins looked like. He trained, he certified in the ways the UK's loosely regulated aesthetics industry required, and he built a business. The problem was not necessarily his ambition. It was the regulatory vacuum that allowed someone with his level of qualification to perform procedures that carry the risk of death.
TV Appearances: From Patient to Practitioner on Camera
Jordan's television record maps directly onto the arc of his life — each appearance marking a different chapter of his relationship with the aesthetics industry.
| Year | Show | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| 2015 | Botched (E!) | Doctors declined to treat him, advised him to stop. |
| 2016 | This Morning (ITV) | Admitted no intention to stop. Clip went viral in UK. |
| ~2016 | Bodyshockers (Channel 4) | Part of a wider documentary series on body modification. |
| 2019 | Botched (E!) | Doctors declined. His pivot to practitioner confirmed on camera. |
The BBC Sting: Selling Ozempic on Instagram While on Bail
If the Alice Webb arrest was the first legal crisis, the BBC investigation in October 2025 was the second. A journalist purchased a weight-loss kit from Jordan via Instagram for £200. The kit arrived containing mixing agents, needles, and a white powder. Independent laboratory testing confirmed the powder was semaglutide — the prescription-only active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy.
Selling semaglutide without a prescription is illegal in the UK. The MHRA is responsible for investigating such sales. Metropolitan Police confirmed to Alice Webb's family — who expressed outrage at the news — that selling weight-loss jabs without a prescription did not technically breach his bail conditions. He continued operating. His Lip King Aesthetics Instagram went private. His Facebook page kept running. Reports from late 2025 placed him in Cape Verde, posting lifestyle content while the manslaughter investigation ground on.
A woman had contacted the BBC in 2023 — a year before Alice Webb's death — claiming to have been hospitalised after purchasing weight-loss products from Jordan. That report existed. The BBC acted on it. The regulatory system did not close the gap in time.
Alice's Law: The Campaign That Outlived Both of Them
Alice Webb's family did not wait for justice through the courts. Alongside the campaign group Save Face — a government-approved register of qualified aesthetic practitioners — they launched a push for what they call Alice's Law: legislation that would restrict liquid BBL procedures exclusively to qualified healthcare professionals registered with medical bodies.
The campaign gained national traction. MPs acknowledged in parliamentary discussions that classifying liquid BBL as a high-risk procedure requiring a qualified healthcare professional would effectively constitute a de-facto ban — because there is, in the words of MPs themselves, a "lack of appetite" among medical professionals to perform the procedure. The risk-to-reward ratio for a licensed doctor is simply not there.
In August 2025, the UK government announced tighter measures for the aesthetics industry: only suitably qualified health workers could perform high-risk procedures, clinics offering Botox and fillers would need licensing, and fines would apply for breaches. But no clear implementation date was set. Local authorities admitted they lacked the powers and resources to effectively police the industry in the interim.
Where things stand now
- The criminal investigation into Alice Webb's death has been formally closed — because the primary suspect died before charges could be brought.
- Inquests into both Alice Webb's death and Jordan James Parke's death will be held.
- Two people arrested in connection with Jordan's death remain on bail pending investigation.
- Alice's Law has not been passed as of February 2026. No binding legislation restricts who can perform liquid BBLs in the UK.
- The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) continues to investigate unlicensed semaglutide sales but no charges were brought against Jordan before his death.
Alice's sister April, speaking on behalf of her family after learning of Jordan's death, said precisely what the regulatory silence means for their campaign: "While we will never see him face trial, our fight for justice for Alice continues." The fight is no longer about prosecuting Jordan. It is about ensuring the gap that allowed both deaths to happen is finally closed by law.
What Happens Now — The Investigations
There are now two concurrent investigations running from Jordan's death. The first is the Metropolitan Police inquiry into his death itself — focused on the two individuals arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and what exactly happened at Lincoln Plaza on February 18. A post-mortem examination has been ordered. Results are pending.
The second is the coroner's process, which will run inquests into both Jordan's death and Alice Webb's death. The Gloucestershire criminal investigation into Alice's death has been formally closed — no charges can be brought against a dead man. But the inquest is a separate process, focused on establishing the facts of her death for the public record rather than prosecuting anyone.
The question that matters most going forward is not about Jordan. It is about the two people arrested on February 20. If investigators establish that a cosmetic procedure carried out at Lincoln Plaza caused Jordan's death, and if the people who performed it are found to have done so without appropriate qualifications or care, then the law they face is the same law Jordan was facing over Alice Webb. That is not a small irony. It is the entire story compressed into a single legal question.
