Canadian heartthrob Shawn Mendes has been making fans’ day in Glasgow City Centre as he prepares to kick-off his mammoth world tour at the Hydro this week.

The ‘Stitches’ crooner, 18, was only too happy to stop, chat, and pose for snaps this morning with a group of starstruck young women.

Mendes’ hit single ‘Treat You Better’ - from his second album Illuminate - was an instant hit, skyrocketing to the number-one spot in 36 countries and currently still proving popular almost a year after its release.

His new single ‘There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back’ has topped the latest Official Trending Chart.
