A "heartbroken" seven-year-old girl was forced to miss a Little Mix concert after falling ill just minutes before they took to the stage. Imogen Holmes had waited two years to see her favourite band live at the AO Arena, after the gig had been delayed due to the pandemic.
She had visited Pizza Express alongside mum Louise, cousin Gabby and auntie Teresa, and was excited for their first family gathering together since her nanna lost her battle to cancer. However, just moments after arriving, she grabbed her mum's arm and became violently sick before being rushed home after suffering a severe gluten reaction.
Imogen, who has coeliac disease and mustn't eat any gluten had visited the restaurant before the concert. It was within an hour that the night took a drastic turn for the worst.
