MasterChef fans say judge Jock Zonfrillo has a royal doppelgänger

Jock Zonfrillo has become a household name since debuting as a new judge on this year’s season of MasterChef.

And some fans of the cooking franchise suggested the Scottish chef has a royal doppelgänger this week. 

A post shared to the MasterChef Australia 2020 Fans Facebook Group saw some agreeing that the 43-year-old looks just like Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark.

Alongside two side-by-side images of Jock and Prince Frederik, one fan wrote: ‘Been trying to figure out who Jock reminds me of… anyone else see it?’

Several others agreed, including one who said: ‘Oh my gosh, he does too!’  

While a few suggested that while they do look similar, Jock is more attractive.

It comes after Jock confirmed that as a MasterChef judge, he eats ‘five times the average person’.   

He shared an article to Instagram Stories on Friday, where several of the contestants claimed he eats an entire meal before sampling the dishes and wrote: ‘Exposed!’

Jock also posted an interview with Good Food, where he said a non-cooking skill he has is to eat large portions.

Feeling hungry: It comes after Jock confirmed that as a MasterChef judge, he eats ‘five times the average person’. He shared an article to his Instagram Stories on Friday, where several of the show’s contestants claimed he eats an entire meal before sampling the dishes 

‘I’m a pro at eating. I’ll eat four to five times more than a normal person,’ he told the publication back in February 2018. 

Several of the show’s contestants previously claimed Jock would eat an entire meal before sampling the dishes.

Many of the contestants admitted they were in awe of Jock’s ability to finish a meal and then still be hungry enough to sample another sometimes-20 plates.

Confirmed: Jock also posted an interview with Good Food, where he said a non-cooking skill he has is to eat large portions and wrote: ‘I revealed it a while back’

‘How can someone fit that much food in their stomach?’ Several of the contestants revealed Jock will eat an entire meal before sampling the dishes

‘Jock could eat a whole house and still be hungry,’ MasterChef hopeful Laura Sharrad told News.com.au, while Reece Hignell confessed he ‘never stops eating’.

‘Jock sometimes eats a full lunch before a challenge and tastings… Even with 24 people in the competition. How can someone fit that much food in their stomach?’ mused Tessa Boersma. 

Brendan Pang said he was ‘shocked’ at the sheer volume of food Jock could consume.

‘Jock is the biggest eater I have ever met, and I eat a lot! He’ll have three helpings at lunch and then taste our dishes all afternoon!’ added Callum Hann.  

MasterChef: Back To Win continues Sunday at 7.30pm on Channel Ten.
