Jock Zonfrillo was scheduled to appear on The Project on Monday night ahead of the launch of the 15th season of MasterChef Australia. Instead, his colleagues at Ten paid tribute to the award-winning chef, whose body was discovered by police earlier that morning.
The Project host Sarah Harris said the news came through late in the afternoon. “The promos for MasterChef have been on air for weeks and everyone’s looking forward to this wonderful new season, but it’s more than that, I mean, this is a bloke who had four kids, young children as well, the youngest was two,” Harris said.
