The celebrity chef was a longtime friend of late Jock Zonfrillo.
Following the tragic passing of Masterchef judge, Jock Zonfrillo, there has been an elephant in the room: who is big enough to fill the Scotsman’s shoes?
According to a Channel 10 insider, it may just be the Naked Chef, Jamie Oliver.
A rumoured $2 million contract is yet to be signed by the British chef, restaurateur and activist to join current judges Andy Allen and Melissa Leong.
It’s no secret, however, that Oliver and Zonfrillo shared a special friendship, with Oliver posting a heartfelt message on his Instagram in the wake of Zonfrillo’s untimely death in May.

“I’m in total shock to wake up to the sudden death of chef Jock Zonfrillo. We had the best time working together for this year’s master chef, I can’t tell how good it was to work with him!” he wrote.
