fans were left "heartbroken" on Wednesday night after shared a surprising tribute to his late friend and who died last year before the 2023 series premiered. Speaking to the contestants about their food heroes, Andy said, "When you first applied to be part of this competition, you named someone that you considered to be your food hero. "And all of you, you named a family member," he said, adding, "For me, although I loved growing up on pine burgers, unfortunately it's not my mother, but it's our late, great mate, Jock.

" As tears began flowing in the MasterChef kitchen, Andy continued, saying, "The time that we spent cooking in this kitchen and creating an energy where people like you could just reach for the stars and succeed with everything you do – I learnt so much about that from Jock. "And he taught me so much more, probably, about being a good husband, being a good son, and hopefully one day, me being a good dad. So, I miss him a lot.



" Fans shared their heartbreak on Instagram, with one user writing, "Wasn’t expecting that ❤️💔 Never heard a more honest word spoken xxox." "Jock. Fondly remembered," another said, while a third added, "Most heartbroken moment this season 😢❤️.

" "Oh Andy we miss Jock too. He had such a big presence ❤️," someone else said. "Jock is truly missed but love to see Andy stepping up and being his own leader for the show.

.. ❤️," another wrote.
