MasterChef’s Andy Allen goes on ‘healing trip’ to Spain with his wife just months after the death of friend and co-star Jock Zonfrillo

Andy Allen is currently on a ‘healing trip’ with his wife Alex in the scenic Spanish island of Menorca as he recovers from the death of his friend Jock Zonfrillo.

The MasterChef Australia judge, 35, shared a gallery of precious photos to Instagram on Monday capturing him and Alex having the time of the lives on the scenic holiday.

‘Dear Menorca, you were exactly what I needed. Chat soon,’ Andy wrote next to the gallery.

It didn’t take long for Andy’s celebrity friends to send him their well wishes.

‘Miss you guys. lz xx,’ wrote Jock Zonfrillo’s widow Lauren Fried while Andy’s wife Alex commented: ‘Looking forward to some natty Sydney wines when we get back’. 

It’s been almost three months since MasterChef star Jock Zonfrillo’s tragic death. 

And the late chef’s co-star Andy Allen has admitted he’s still coming to terms with the shock passing of his friend and ‘mentor’.

Taking to Instagram on Friday, the MasterChef judge paid a heartbreaking tribute to Zonfrillo after the series finale. 

Sharing a carousel of photos of himself and Jock, Andy wrote: ‘I feel like there will continue to be these moments along the way where it feels so real and gets even harder to comprehend your loss. 

‘This week has been one of them. He seemed so kind towards the contestants & I found this incredibly refreshing in a world that seems to thrive on negativity & pulling people down.’

‘Like many things, you were a master at the mentor game and knowing that we won’t be standing side by side, doing our dance together anymore is really sinking in. Love you.’ 

Jock was found dead aged 46 on April 30 at a Melbourne hotel at 2am, which also happened to be Andy’s 35th birthday.

The chef is survived by his third wife, Lauren Fried, and his four children: teenage daughters Ava and Sophia, from his first two marriages, and six-year-old Alfie and two-year-old Isla, with Fried.

The Scottish-Australian chef and restaurateur became a host of the popular Channel 10 cooking show MasterChef Australia in 2019 alongside Andy Allen and Melissa Leong.
