Missing out: Isabelle Allen, 10, missed her first big awards ceremony on Sunday night after contracting a sickness bug
She's just 10 years old and was more than a little excited about attending her first awards ceremony.
But Les Miserables startlet Isabelle Allen was forced to miss out on the Screen Actor's Guild awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night when she contracted a sickness bug.
The British actress, who plays Anne Hathaway's character Fantine's daughter Cosette in the film, had been in the car on the way to the ceremony at The Shrine Auditorium when she fell ill, forcing her to miss out on what would have been her very first red carpet awards event.
A spokesperson for the young star told MailOnline: 'Issy went down with a stomach bug just as she was on the way to the awards.
'Sadly, she had to be taken back to her hotel and missed the ceremony that she was looking forward to so much and seeing the rest of the Les Mis cast again.'
On missing the ceremony, Isabelle also missed the sight of her on-screen mother Anne taking home the Best Supporting Actress prize for her role as Fantine.
And it would have been particularly upsetting, given that the youngster has previously admitted she wants to be like Anne when she grows up.
Isabelle has gone from an unknown actress to a household name thanks to her role in Les Miserables.

Attending the London premiere of the movie last year, Isabelle said: 'It’s been so exciting and so much fun.
'All the stars were so nice to me and I love Anne Hathaway. I want to be like her when I grow up. I got a little nervous at times but I loved it. The best bit was doing my solo.'
And Hugh Jackman, who plays Jean Valjean in the movie, said of his young co-star: 'She’s incredible. Totally pure and unspoilt. She is the movie.'
