Sleazy ... girls strip down to their underwear as one kneels in front of reclining James Hudson
A BRITISH diplomat in Russia has quit after being filmed having sex with two blonde hookers.
High-flier James Hudson, 37, resigned from his posting to the Urals in disgrace over the sordid video.

The film - thought to have been secretly shot in a classic Russian spy sting - could have left him open to blackmail.
It shows podgy, bespectacled Hudson romping with both girls in various positions after kissing them and guzzling champagne.
In one scene, as music plays in the background, a hooker asks in heavily-accented English: "Would you like it?"
In another, one of the girls is seen naked and straddling his tubby body on a bed.
The film is believed to have been shot in a brothel in the city of Ekaterinberg, where Hudson was Deputy Consul General.

It opens with him strolling into a room wearing just an open dressing gown and clutching a wine glass.
He kisses one hooker before a second appears and drapes herself on his lap. The girls strip down to their undies before the film cuts to all three of them naked on the bed together.
Video ... James Hudson
The four-minute, 18-second video was posted on a local news website.
It also accused the diplomat of indulging in drugs and gambling during office hours under the heading: "Adventures of Mr Hudson in Russia."
A security source said Russia's FSB intelligence service, the modern KGB, may have carried out the sting to embarrass Britain.
The source warned: "Russian intelligence has a long history of making sex films and taking compromising photos to control people or further its aims.
"It is also virtually unthinkable that this could have been widely published online without some sort of tacit official approval."
Posting ... where James Hudson worked as Deputy Consul General
However organised crime gangs hoping to extort cash from Hudson could also have been responsible for making the video.
Last night British officials were "livid" at the scandal.
The Foreign Office confirmed Hudson had resigned, saying staff were expected to "demonstrate high levels of personal and professional integrity".
Dad-of-one Hudson joined the FO in 1994 and his postings have included Sarajevo, Havana and Budapest.
He married wife Sally in London in 1996, but they divorced the following year.
The Ural Mountains area, 1,000 miles east of Moscow, covers Russia's industrial heartland and is a key outpost for British trade.
