Jock’s widow shares heartbreaking snap of MasterChef judge

Must read

Jock Zonfrillo’s widow has shared a heartbreaking image of the late Masterchef Australia judge more than a year after he died.

Lauren posted a picture from the couple’s time in Italy eight years ago.

The pair can be seen smiling together as they drive down a road in Capri.

Jock was found dead at the Zagame’s House hotel in Carlton, near Melbourne’s CBD, about 2am on April 30 last year.

At the time, his wife Lauren was in Italy with their two children and had phoned Victoria Police to request a welfare check because he stopped answering her calls.

Lauren — who took over Jock’s Instagram to continue his legacy — opened up about her grief in April, just days before the one year anniversary of his death.

“Next week will be a year since we lost Jock. I have no idea where that time went,” Lauren said.

“I really did have plans to get more of his projects out but somewhere between trying to find my feet as a solo parent — and just going through long periods of time where I found it really hard to look at videos and photos of Jock — the plan didn’t go to plan.

“Jock’s legacy sits in his children and his work, and both have given me a lot of purpose in the last year.”

Lauren revealed she has hours of unseen footage of Jock cooking and sharing his recipes.

She went on to say she wants to continue to post his content and bring people joy.
