It’s the day after the Oscars and we’ve got gold on our minds!

Mark O’Byrne from Goldcore Ireland popped in to chat to Dermot & Dave this morning.

Mark told us lots of interesting facts that we didn’t know and revealed how much an Oscar is actually worth…

The entire statue is actually only sprayed with gold and is therefore worth a measly €600.
