MasterChef Australia has announced the new season will premiere on Sunday night following the shocking death of Jock Zonfrillo earlier this week.
His family confirmed his death on Monday, saying “our irreplaceable husband, father, brother, son and friend” died on Sunday in Melbourne. “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,” his family wrote.
Network Ten have revealed that with the blessing of the Scots chef's family, the series is set to air this weekend. Announcing the news on social media, the broadcaster confirmed a special tribute to Jock will air beforehand.
