"We love Shawn so much... so we decided to make a mural as a warm welcome, because he will be here in Turin on Sunday," Perrie told The Official Big Top 40.
"It’s the first time that we've done a huge thing like this for Shawn to show our support," she continued.
Shawn is currently embarking on the European leg of his 2019 world tour, playing 27 dates across the continent this spring.
