A BBC investigation has revealed Jordan Parke, who was arrested following Alice Webb’s death, is allegedly selling prescription weight-loss jabs online.
Parke was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter in 2024 after Webb, a 33-year-old mother of five, passed away at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital after undergoing a non-surgical Brazilian butt lift (BBL) procedure.
To investigate whether Parke was still working within the cosmetic sector, BBC investigators contacted him on Instagram about prescription-only weight-loss jabs. After paying £200, the investigators were sent a kit containing needles, micing agents and a vial of unlabelled white powder – but no instructions. Subsequent lab tests conducted by Dr Stephen Childs at the University of Sunderland confirmed the presence of semaglutide, a compound found in the diabetes drug Ozempic and the weight-loss drug Wegovy, according to the BBC.
In England, weight-loss injections must be prescribed by a professional, and people must have at least one existing weight-related health condition, such as high blood pressure, and be obese to qualify. The medication can then be self-administered as weekly injections via pre-filled pens.
While Parke is currently still on bail, he has not been charged with the manslaughter of Webb and police have said that the sale of the weight loss jabs would not breach Parke’s bail conditions – despite him not being legally allowed to prescribe them.
Ashton Collins, director at Save Face commented, “Parke has been on our radar for nearly a decade due to his pattern of unethical practices. He is morally bankrupt, consistently prioritising profit over patient safety. I am deeply appalled, though not surprised, to see him selling illegal weight loss injections again. Having previously been exposed for causing serious health issues, he continues these dangerous activities without any legal authority to prescribe. He sells indiscriminately, without assessing suitability or reviewing medical histories, thereby putting both the physical and mental health of his customers at grave risk. The contents of what he is selling remain completely unknown and could potentially be fatal.”
