Who is Jordan James Parke? Family heartbroken as ‘Lip King’ influencer dies

Jordan James Parke, the self-described 'Lip King' has died, leaving his family "numb and heartbroken".

Parke, who was from Dudley in the Midlands, rose to prominence for his passion for cosmetic surgery. He reportedly spent more than £130,000 on procedures, including at least four nose jobs, a Brazilian butt lift (BBL), and around 50 additional treatments.

He spoke candidly about his obsession with surgery on television programmes such as This Morning and Bodyshockers, and appeared twice on Botched.

Parke is said to have died on 18 February. His sister shared the tragic news in a statement posted on social media.

"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.

Parke was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter in 2024 following the death of Alice Webb, a mother of five who underwent a liquid BBL procedure at his clinic. In the wake of Parke's death, Webb's sister said it has brought "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," she told ITV. "We remain committed to campaigning for stricter regulations to prevent tragedies like Alice’s".

Parke was understood to have been on bail at the time of his death.
