Reality star who spent $134k+ to “look like Kim Kardashian” dies after arrest

Reality TV personality Jordan James Parke has died, more than a year after he was arrested, according to a post shared by his sister.

Parke was known for appearing across several British programmes, including This Morning and Bodyshockers, and also featured on the US reality series Botched.

It has been reported that he underwent more than 50 cosmetic procedures over the course of his life, and he previously said Kim Kardashian inspired his look.

Parke had referred to himself as “The Plastic Surgery Advocate”. Among the treatments he was said to have had were a lip lift, a chin implant and multiple rounds of liposuction, according to Mail Online.

Sharing the news on Instagram, his sister Sharnelle Parke wrote: “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.”

She continued: “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!”

Sharnelle also said Parke was the family’s “whole world”, adding: “There are simply no words to express how grateful that we had you in our lives.”

Outside of television, Parke — often described as the ‘Lip King’ — ran a beauty salon in Gloucestershire. Police previously investigated following the death of 33-year-old Alice Webb, who died the day after undergoing a liquid BBL procedure at the premises in September 2024.

In October 2024, Parke was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter in relation to Webb’s death and later released.

By December 2025, he remained on bail and had not been charged.

Following news of Parke’s death, Webb’s family issued a statement, via ITV News: “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. 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.”

The family has been campaigning for ‘Alice’s Law’ in the UK, which would restrict liquid BBL procedures so they can only be carried out by appropriately qualified professionals — such as a plastic surgeon listed on the General Medical Council specialist register.
