Dudley's 'Lip King' Jordan James Parke Dies, Leaving Family 'Numb and Heartbroken'
The Midlands community is in mourning following the tragic death of Dudley reality TV star Jordan James Parke, who was famously known as 'The Lip King'. The beautician, who had a well-documented obsession with cosmetic surgery and appeared on television shows like ITV's This Morning and Channel 4's Bodyshockers, passed away on February 18, 2026.
Family's Emotional Tribute to a 'Beautiful Soul'
Parke's sister announced the heartbreaking news on social media, expressing the family's profound grief. In a poignant post, she described Jordan as their "beautiful, funny, most amazing" family member, stating that they are "numb, shocked and heartbroken" by his sudden loss. She urged the public to remember him fondly, dismissing any negative messages that might circulate.
The tribute highlighted the deep bond within the family, with his sister calling Jordan their "best friend" and "whole world". She expressed gratitude for having him in their lives and shared hopes that he is now at peace, dancing in the sky with departed loved ones.
Outpouring of Grief from Friends and Admirers
Friends and acquaintances have flooded social media with tributes, remembering Parke as a kind-hearted and vibrant individual. One friend recalled him as "one of the most kindest people I've ever met", while another described him as a "fabulous, crazy, kind-hearted person" who will be deeply missed.
Additional messages praised his loyalty and humor, with one person noting he was "the life and soul of the party" and "the loudest laughter in the room". These heartfelt condolences underscore the impact Parke had on those around him, despite the controversies that surrounded his life.
Background: Arrest and Legal Proceedings
Jordan James Parke's death comes after a period of legal scrutiny. In 2024, he was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter in connection with the death of Alice Webb, a mother-of-five who died following a liquid Brazilian butt lift (BBL) operation. As of December 2025, Parke was out on bail and had not been formally charged in relation to this case.
This backdrop adds a layer of complexity to the mourning process, as the family and community grapple with the loss while acknowledging the unresolved legal matters. The investigation into Webb's death remains a separate issue from the personal grief now being expressed by Parke's loved ones.
The news has sent shockwaves through the Dudley area and beyond, particularly among those who followed his television appearances and cosmetic surgery advocacy. As the family prepares to say their final goodbyes, they remember Jordan James Parke not just as 'The Lip King', but as a cherished individual whose absence leaves a void in their lives.
