Jock Zonfrillo‘s widow Lauren will address the MasterChef Australia star’s death for the first time in a candid interview on 7News Spotlight.

In a preview for the interview, which is set to air on Sunday, an emotional Lauren discusses the impact Jock’s death has had on her and their young children, Alfie, seven, and Isla, four.

‘His death made headlines around he world and for the first time Lauren Zonfrillo on life after Jock,’ host Liz Hayes says.

Lauren then recalls her heartbreak when learning about Jock’s tragic death, telling Liz: ‘Just wake up, open your eyes, give me something.’

‘I told him it will be OK, I’ve got this,’ she adds, before questioning: ‘Did I love him enough, did I do enough?’

Liz then asks Lauren several confronting questions about Jock’s death.

‘People want to know why he died and how he died,’ she asks an emotional Lauren.

Jock, who tragically passed away on April 30, 2023, was found unresponsive in a hotel in Carlton, near Melbourne’s CBD.

He left behind Lauren and their two young children, Alfie and Isla, as well as daughters Ava and Sofia from previous marriages.

At the time of Zonfrillo’s death, Lauren had been in Italy and reportedly became concerned when her husband failed to keep to their usual daily schedule of telephone calls.

A senior Victoria Police source told Daily Mail Australia that officers who attended Zagame’s House in Carlton found Zonfrillo dead in his bed and saw no obvious signs of anything suspicious or unusual.

There was no drug paraphernalia located, no one else in his room and police at the scene formed the initial view Zonfrillo had died of natural causes.

Lauren has never publicly discussed Zonfrillo’s cause of death and a spokeswoman for Victoria’s Coroners Court told Daily Mail Australia in February that the August 2024 findings of an investigation would not be published.

In the months following Jock’s death, Lauren took over his Instagram account, using it as a platform to continue his legacy while sharing her journey through grief and the challenges of solo parenting.

A fortnight after Zonfrillo’s death his wife led about 200 mourners who gathered for a funeral at Macquarie Park Cemetery and Crematorium at North Ryde on May 13.

Among those who attended the service were celebrity chefs George Calombaris, Matt Moran, Colin Fassnidge, Manu Feildel and Shannon Bennett as well as Zonfrillo’s co-stars Allen and Melissa Leong.

Lauren delivered a eulogy before Zonfrillo’s friend and fellow Scotsman, Jimmy Barnes, sang Amazing Grace with his daughter Mahalia.

Before his death, Zonfrillo had been preparing for the launch of MasterChef’s 15th season, which was set to premiere the night his body was found.

He was also in the early stages of planning a new restaurant and had started working on a cookbook prior to his death.

Zonfrillo and his wife, who married in 2017, had put their four-bedroom Carlton terrace up for rent ahead of a potential permanent move to Italy, where his father was born.
