And a third confessed: "The random amount of minutes between each alarm would tip me over. All would have to be the same amount of minutes apart!"

It comes after Dan suffered a morning mishap on Wednesday last week. Taking to his social media accounts, the 45-year-old revealed that he almost missed his spot on the red sofa after forgetting to set his alarm clocks the night before.
