Breaking: MasterChef presenter and chef Jock Zonfrillo has died aged 46.
In a statement issued jointly with Network Ten and production company Endemol Shine, the Zonfrillo family revealed the Scottish chef had died in Melbourne on Sunday.“With completely shattered hearts and without knowing how we can possibly move through life without him, we are devastated to share that Jock passed away yesterday,” the family said.
“We implore you to please let us grieve privately as we find a way to navigate through this and find space on the other side to celebrate our irreplaceable husband, father, brother, son and friend.” Zonfrillo had been married to Lauren Fried since 2017. They had two children together, six-year-old Alfie and two-year-old Isla. He also had two teenage daughters, Ava and Sophia, from two previous marriages.
“This is a terribly sad day,” said Beverley McGarvey, executive vice president of the network’s parent company Paramount ANZ. “Jock was an extraordinary man. He was a wonderful colleague and friend, and we feel very privileged to have had him play such an important and impactful role inDespite all his notable professional milestones, nothing brought him more joy or happiness than his family. Our thoughts are with them at this very difficult time.
