HE holds the record for the most Brit Awards, with five gongs as a member of Take That and 13 as a solo artist.
But it turns out Robbie Williams also holds a record for the amount of food scoffed while snoozing.
The Rock DJ singer has admitted to eating £23 worth of chocolate while in the land of nod – and blamed his use of sleeping pill Ambien for his midnight munchies.
Robbie said: “Because of Ambien, I ate $32 worth of chocolate, asleep. Completely asleep.”
He went on to say he blamed the drug solely for his sleep eating and said it reached a peak on his 2007 Close Encounters tour.
Rob added: “All the way through that tour I was living like a monk food-wise during the day, sort of my body as a temple.
“But then at night I’d be taking these Ambien and then I would be eating the mini bar. I’d be eating the menu – don’t remember any of it.”
It isn’t just sleep eating which Robbie has blamed the pills on either.

Speaking on The Past Weekend podcast in the US he confessed he would regularly get naked and sleep talk.
Robbie explained: “My security on tour, they’d have the Ambien.
“And I’d be like, ‘Can I have them?’ So, they’d give me the Ambien. And then I’d go next door, and then I’d have my Ambien and I’d fall asleep on the Ambien.
“And then I would get up completely naked, go through the security room and have a conversation with them as lucidly as this but completely naked and asleep.
“And then I’d wake up the next morning and I’d say, ‘I didn’t do it, did I?’ And then this look in their eyes would just be like, ‘Yes, you did, you did do it.’
