A priest is in hot water after he stimulated sex with male Playboy bunnies while dressed as Hugh Hefner.

Juan Carlos Martínez, parish priest for the town of Cuntis, Spain, was celebrating a local carnival when he donned the outfit.

He posed on a float dressed as elderly Playboy millionaire Hefner, wearing a dressing gown, captain’s cap and cigar.

The priest was sandwiched between two men in black leotards, stockings and a barely-there netting skirt and topped off with bunny ears over colourful wigs.

He has now been forced to apologise – after officials from the Catholic church took offence, reports The Local.

The men were celebrating an annual carnival in the town of Pontevedra, northwestern Spain, near to the priest’s Cuntis parish.

At one point, a male bunny leapt on to the priest and simulated sex.

Locals in the town, which has just 5,000 residents, reportedly loved the whole thing.

They’ve come out to defend the priest since the incident, saying it was just in the spirit of the carnival.

However Father Martínez is now seeking forgivness for his actions.

He has issued a formal apology, saying: “I am so sorry to those who feel offended”.

A senior priest visited his home to repremand him for the incident, but found dozens of Cuntis parishners gathered outside to defend the Playboy incident.

“Such things happen at carnival, it’s just a bit of fun,” one resident said in a TV report broadcast on Antena 3.

“He’s a great priest and everyone loves him.”

The church has agreed not to take any further action.
