The 15th season of ‘MasterChef Australia’ will now premiere on May 7, a week after it was delayed due to the unexpected death of judge Jock Zonfrillo.
The late Scottish chef’s family members gave their blessing to go ahead with the new season, which was filmed before Zonfrillo’s death on May 1, according to PTI.
Jock Zonfrillo, MasterChef Australia judge, took great pride in challenging and coaching the contestants, as well as inspiring a nation of home cooks.
”We cherish this season and remember the charismatic and big-hearted Judge and Chef who we knew and loved with Jock in our hearts. Jock will be remembered in the MasterChef Australia kitchen for many years to come,” said the channel in a statement.
According to the channel, a special Zonfrillo-themed episode of the current affairs show ”The Sunday Project” will air directly before the ”MasterChef Australia” episode.
