The 15th season of the cooking competition was originally scheduled to air on Monday night (May 1) but was pulled following news of the death.
The new season of MasterChef Australia is set to go on following the sudden death of co-host, judge and chef Jock Zonfrillo.
Zonfrillo was found dead on Sunday and his death was announced by his family the following day, just hours before the latest season of the cooking competition was set to air on Australian television. No cause of death was given for the Scottish chef, who died at the age of 46. There were also suggestions to have a special tribute episode to honour Zonfrillo, according to Sky News.In a social media post, Zonfrillo's family wrote: “So many words can describe him, so many stories can be told, but at this time we’re too overwhelmed to put them into words. For those who crossed his path, became his mate, or were lucky enough to be his family, keep this proud Scot in your hearts when you have your next whisky”.
