Radiohead have donated a song to the UK housing and homeless charity Shelter, to be used in a forthcoming TV advert.

The advert, which is called 'House Of Cards', ironically doesn't feature the Radiohead track of the same name. Instead, the band's 'Videotape', from their 2007 album 'In Rainbows', provides the soundtrack.

Speaking of their involvement in the advert, Radiohead said they were pleased their music may help to encourage people to donate to the charity.

"We have always been big supporters of Shelter and believe that now more than ever Shelter urgently needs help and support to keep up its vital work," the band said in a statement.

"'Videotape' is the perfect track to support the ad so we decided to let Shelter use it in their new ad in the hope that it will help make a real impact."

Shelter's 'House Of Cards' Radiohead-featuring advert is available to watch online now.
