Jordan Parke, known as the "Lip King", faced enforcement action in Dudley and Greater Manchester before treating Alice Webb in Gloucester in 2024. Webb's former partner, Ben Kingscote, said the case highlighted gaps in regulation and called for a national system to prevent practitioners operating elsewhere. A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said ministers would consult on tougher measures covering high-risk cosmetic procedures, including liquid BBLs.

Kingscote said the local restrictions did not prevent Parke from continuing to work elsewhere and he should have been banned nationally.
