MasterChef judge Jock Zonfrilloโ€™s career may be in its prime but for the 44-year-old, nothing brings him more fulfilment than his family.

But itโ€™s taken the TV star a lot of hard work to get to where he is now โ€“ and the chef makes sure he prioritises he relationship over his work.

Today, he is in a successful marriage with his wife, Lauren Fried, with the couple sharing two children together, a three-year-old son called Alfie and an eighth-month-old daughter called Isla.

Jock is also the father to two teenage girls, Ava and Sophia, from his first two marriages.

In honour of MasterChefโ€™s new episode, which featured the remaining contestantโ€™s loved ones, Jock felt it was time to pay tribute to his own brood.

On Thursday, the father-of-four took to Instagram to share a slew of never-before-seen family photos as he admitted his role as husband and father is his most rewarding.

โ€œPapa and husband are my two favourite jobs,โ€ Jock explained.

โ€œIโ€™ve learnt through many mistakes that they are all that matter, everything else is a distraction.โ€

In one snap Jock cradles little Isla โ€“ their big and expressive faces are almost identical.

Earlier this year, Jock mused about how grateful he is to spend quality time with Isla, his youngest child.

โ€œFor me Sundays are for family, sharing food being present & in the moment. I canโ€™t believe Isla is already over 5 months,โ€ he said.

He has also been openly gushy about watching his four children grow up, โ€œAlfie just turned 3, Sofia is 15, and my eldest @avazonfrillo turns 20 next month! I feel like the luckiest man alive this morning. What are you doing today?โ€
