MasterChef Australia viewers have been left in tears as the new series launched, following the sudden death of judge Jock Zonfrillo.
The renowned chef and dad-of-four died on Monday, with the 15th season of MasterChef Australia set to launch that evening.
With the support of Jock's family, the episode was pushed back to today, after an hour long special tribute to the TV star, with chefs Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver and his former mentor, Marco Pierre White, remembering the culinary innovator.
