REMEMBER Jordan James Parke?

He’s the 23-year-old Kim Kardashian superfan who famously spent more than $190,000 on plastic surgery to look like his idol.

The British makeup artist fell in love with the reality TV star after watching an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. He then went on to have more than 50 cosmetic procedures to transform himself into a Kim lookalike, including Botox, lip fillers, eyebrow tattoos and laser hair removal.

But the self-proclaimed filler addict has now admitted that he can “no longer move” his face as a result of the surgery and his 4mm lip fillers are leaking.

He has appeared on US show Botched and said:“Sometimes filler can leak out of the sides. It’s quite scary, they need fixing. I’m worried if they keep leaking I’m going to end up with small lips again and that wouldn’t be me. My lips have really changed me as a person and I’d be so normal and boring without them.”

Botched’s Dr. Terry Dubrow warned: “It’s all fun and games until your lips fall off and then you’ve got a major, irreversible problem.”

In a clip from the E! show, Parke revealed he got his first procedure at 19 (his tattooed eyebrows), and then began getting lip injections when he was 21.

Doctors even began turning Parke away, warning him that his lips might eventually explode.

“Any attention is good attention,” he claims.

Somehow, we beg to differ.
