MasterChef's Andy Allen reveals the death of his fellow judge Jock Zonfrillo was the 'hardest time' of his life: 'I spent a full day just crying'
MasterChef Australia judge Andy Allen has revealed that losing Jock Zonfrillo was the 'hardest time' of his life.
'It was the hardest time of my life, I had never had tragedy like that hit me so close, it was very uncharted waters and multiply that by it being in the public eye; it was really difficult,' he told the Herald Sun. Andy said he didn't give himself a chance to grieve because he wanted to be there for Jock's family - his wife Lauren Fried and their kids Alfie, seven, and Isla, three, as well as his adult daughters Ava and Sophia from past relationships. He detailed his heavy emotional toll and told how he spent a 'full day crying' after travelling to Sicily to mark Jock's birthday in August last year.
