MasterChef’s Jock Zonfrillo seen in final video as show cancelled after sudden death
Since his tragic death was announced on Monday, fans of MasterChef Australia host Jock Zonfillo have been flocking to his Instagram to share their condolences.
However, amongst the outpouring of grief in the comments, his last interaction with a fan has been discovered.
Just two days ago he posted a promo image for the new series of MasterChef Secrets & Surprises featuring Jamie Oliver.
He captioned it: “The time has come for @masterchefau to kick off a new season filled with Secrets & Surprises! And Jamie Oliver of course!”
One fan using the handle @creativecakeartmelbourne responded: “Very exciting… (my son shouts out ‘Jooooook’ every time you appear on the advert!!!! He is even practising his Scottish accent!!!)” (sic)
In response, Jock simply posted a sweet laughing emoji, which at the time of writing has received 616 likes on the social media platform.
Of the comments, the majority are broken heart emojis, but a few people took the time to acknowledge that this was the final time that fans would hear from him.
User @stefyfahry wrote: “@zonfrillo so hard to believe that you are gone when you commented on this just a couple of hours ago,” followed by a broken heart emoji.
Another called _kee_kenzie_ayla tagged the original poster and said: “This just makes me even more sad now!”
A follower calling themselves @iamfauziana told the original commenter: “You’re a lucky person to have his last comment/words.”

Dozens of fans shared their condolences under the video, which was posted before the weekend, with Shefali Ganesh writing: “Heartbroken Jock.”
