Jock Zonfrillo's wife Lauren Fried has been doing her best to keep her husband's Instagram account going since his shock passing last month.

"Little Isla has started sleeping with Papa’s clothes, keeps him close," she captioned the post.

"He is close little one, just in a different way," one user responded. "Love and light to your beautiful babes and strength to you Loz."

"Bless her heart," another said. "My dad's been gone almost 10 years, I still wear his socks and I’m 42. Miss him heaps. Sending virtual hugs."

"This breaks my heart," a third said. "Oh Jock we all miss you badly, but I’m sure he’s now a guiding angel for his kids and loved ones."

"I tragically lost my husband a few years ago and I go to sleep holding my hubby's top," a fourth added. "Keeping him close to me."

"Loz maybe you could get the most worn ones made into a big blanket or blankets for you and the children or cushion covers and the others framed or something as a keepsake , so much love to you all," one user suggested.

It comes after Lauren shared a video of Jock and his MasterChef co-star Andy Allen behind-the-scenes of the show.

In the video, which is taken from Jock's perspective, he tells Andy, "It's a bit chilli today," while handing him a handful of yellow chillies, which Andy promptly takes a bite out of before reacting to the chilli as Jock laughs.

"Jock loved his food game with @andyallencooks, I wouldn’t say he enjoyed it as much…Many more instalments to come!" Lauren shared.

"Thank you, Loz, for sharing and keeping his memory alive. We miss Jock! We hope your family is doing well," one fan wrote.

"I just love seeing Jock appear on my feed. Thank you," another said.

Jock has previously shared on Instagram that being a father and husband are two of his greatest joys, writing, "Papa and husband are my two favourite jobs. I've learnt through many mistakes that they are all that matter, everything else is a distraction."

The celebrity chef was found dead at 2am in Melbourne last month after police received a call requesting a “welfare check”, and is survived by Lauren and his four children, Ava, Sophie, Alfie, and Isla.
