Cougar Charlotte Dawson takes cub Tyrone Corban out for a stroll Charlotte Dawson and Tyrone Corban / Pic: Richard Dobson Source: The Daily Telegraph CHARLOTTE Dawson's new boyfriend looked like a deer caught in headlights as he stepped out nervously for his first big public event with his cougarlicious squeeze this week. Tyrone Corban, 23, held on tight as he accompanied Dawson up the black carpet for the 50th edition of the Ermenegildo Zegna Wool Trophy event at the Hordern Pavilion on Tuesday night. "It's interesting, very interesting," Corban told Confidential when asked how he felt about immersing himself in the Australia's Next Top Model star's celebrity life. It is an interesting world. To this, a protectively besotted Dawson jumped in, saying: "It is not really his thing." Dawson, 47, went public with her new romance after she and the Double Bay-based property agent were spotted cosily enjoying each other's company at Fashion Week this month. Corban went under the radar as he attended the Logies with the television star, who was once married to disgraced Olympic swimmer Scott Miller. "We've been out and about together for a while," she said. We went to the Logies together, snuck in and snuck out. Dawson's new romance comes seven months after her split from boyfriend Ryan Brustolin. Dawson is understood to have met Corban through mutual friends. She has been back touring the country working on the latest series of Top Model, which will be hosted by Jennifer Hawkins. Dawson will be joined on the judging panel by close friend, flamboyant designer Alex Perry, and male model Didier Cohen. In September, Dawson was admitted to hospital after an onslaught of cyber bullying saw her drink "a lot of wine" and tweet a photo of herself holding several sleeping pills with the caption: "You win." Dawson surprised some party-goers at Tuesday night's event by drinking white wine after last month declaring publicly she had given up drinking for good. In March, she told Confidential: "I do go on these four to six week no-alcohol stints each year but this year has been different," she said. I've been doing it for a month so far and I just don't miss (drinking) and don't want anything to do with it. Being able to get up at 5am for Top Model and function in an easy way . . . it's agreeing with me. I'm pretty sure I'm not going back to drinking.
