Former S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt has actually recently delighted her Instagram fans with posts from her picturesque brand-new tropical home in Costa Rica, where she and her partner Adam Thomas are determined to 'live off the land'.

Hannah, 44, changed her bio to: 'Prepper, survivalist and developer now living the uninhibited jungle life.'

But as these unique photos reveal, even an eco-warrior requires the periodic visit to the grocery store in their gas-guzzling 4x4.

Last week, Adam, 45, loaded up the couple's 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up with the weekly store at the substantial BM supermarket in Dominical, about half an hour down the mountain from where the couple and their two young daughters have actually based themselves.

Hannah and Adam's hillside estate with its own waterfalls and stunning views of lush green valleys is a far cry from their life in Britain, which they waved goodbye to in January.

Hannah announced to her 348k Instagram followers that the couple now prepare to 'learn permaculture' so they can 'live off the land' growing fruit and veggies.

But locals and other expats in the hills above Dominical on Costa Rica's Pacific coast, informed MailOnline that the challenges of self-sufficiency can be 'tremendous'.

'Obviously it depends on numerous aspects such as how much dough you have, how much land and above all, just how much experience,' said an American member of the regional ex-pat Facebook group, Domi Crew.

Despite Hannah altering her Instagram bio to: 'Prepper, survivalist and developer now living the uninhibited jungle life', Adam was seen this week stocking up on the weekly store at B&M

Adam was seen carrying a McDonald's soft beverage cup as he left the family's gas-guzzling 4x4 truck. B&M grocery store offers a series of items including soft beverages, confectionery, and alcohol, in addition to toiletries and cleaning items and garden furnishings

'It can be done, of course, however there are a great deal of people who've tried and underestimated how challenging it is, then been required to search for some other sort of paid work instead to get by.'

If that must take place to Hannah and Adam, there would be plenty of chances in the prospering tourist and browsing resort of Dominical, should the couple choose to work.

The town is less than half an hour's drive down the mountain in their big gas-guzzling 3.0 litre diesel Toyota Hi Lux pick-up which Hannah flaunted on Instagram recently.

There is a large range of luxury hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end restaurants, healthy food shops, junk food dining establishments and a substantial BM supermarket, where the couple have actually both been seen.

Though some Instagram fans have actually assumed the couple's wooden home with marvelous views of the sunrise from the balcony would be 'off grid', it probably is not.

More than 99 percent of the many vacation homes and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electriicty and most boast a/c and high-speed web too, delivered either by fibre optic cable or satellite.

Judging by images published by Adam on Facebook in their airy kitchen area with a high vaulted ceiling, the household won't do not have any mod cons in the home.

At the grocery store today, MailOnline found Adam packing a trolley high with items consisting of loo paper and bread to take home. Before heading back to their home, he cleared the truck of some rubbish consisting of a soda cup from McDonald's.

One realty agent in Dominical told MailOnline: 'There is a very healthy residential or commercial property market around here and it's driven by immigrants. Many of them are digital nomads running their company from here since it's stunning, with the jungle, the beaches and the lifestyle.

'But in fact making a living from the land is a difficult job, unless you have significant resources and know-how, or have enough residential or commercial property to rent it out to paying visitors.'

However, the truth is that Hannah and Adam are utilizing this ecologically hostile 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up truck to do the daily chores like popping to the supermarket

Hannah transferred to Costa Rica after a series of well-publicised setbacks consisting of the death of her ex-boyfriend and band member Paul Cattermole and the row over her giving up S Club 7

It's not known just how much capital Hannah and Adam have in between them, however their strategies to open a holistic food store in Twickenham needed to be shelved in 2015, apparently because of spiralling costs.

The commercial residential or commercial property in the heart of Twickenham town, purchased in Hannah's name in November 2018 for ₤ 520,000 with a mortgage, was sold in March, having actually been on the marketplace for ₤ 900,000.

Adam revealed the couple's relocate to Central America back in January with a foul-mouthed attack on Britain, stating 'F *** the UK and f *** the f *** ing great deal of them. We GOOONE!!!'.

His intemperate Facebook post was accompanied by a sweet image of his 2 daughters, Taya, 5 and four-year-old Tora, in a hammock at their stunning rain forest home.

But the bitter tone of his invective against political leaders of all shades, and 'nosey jobsworth c *** s in every federal government department and the NHS' raised another concern.

Could an which saw the couple clash with authorities and social workers three years earlier over an injury to their baby child have been a factor in their choice to stop Britain?

The transfer to Costa Rica gave an end a well-publicised nightmare few years for Hannah, that included the death of her ex-boyfriend and band member Paul Cattermole in 2023, her awkward departure from S Club 7, a devastating breast augmentation surgical treatment leading to years of disease and a spell in rehab to wean her off powerful pain killers.

But less well understood is one of the darkest chapters in her 2023 autobiography, Facing the Music, billed as a 'searingly honest narrative', concerning a clash between the couple and social services.

In December 2022, while house-sitting for pals in Virginia Water, Surrey, press reports branded the couple 'homeless' while they were between rental flats.

When then toddler Tora suffered an injury, thought to be triggered by a pet dog jumping up and scratching her eyelid, Hannah composed: 'We discovered ourselves on the radar of social services, an absolutely ridiculous situation to be in, absolutely unjustified.'

She remembered the dreadful event when she ran towards the noise of Tora's screams: 'The scene that I came across in the living-room will stick with me permanently. Tora was basing on the sofa, eyelids horrifically lacerated and the worst facial injury I have actually ever seen.'

At the health center, she wrote: 'Among the nurses can be found in, and asked Adam if she could have a word with him outside. What I didn't understand was that as quickly as he left the room, the authorities were waiting for him and apprehended him, taking him off in handcuffs.

'What was already a dreadful situation had increase to something inexpressible'.

When the household landed in Costa Rica Hannah's partner Adam posted this picture on his public Facebook page of their two children and consisted of an expletive-laden rant at the UK

Adam - visualized in the couple's roomy Costa Rica apartment or condo - ranted about Keir Starmer, the Tories, Reform and the NHS as he said farewell to Britain

But after the bitterness of giving up the UK, the household's dreams of a new live have actually come to life as they take pleasure in early morning waterfall strolls and an outdoor play ground as part of their everyday lives

Hannah claimed that media reports about their short-lived homelessness had actually in some way convinced the authorities that it was likely that a person or other of them had inflicted their child's injuries.

She said: 'It's genuinely frightening to believe that somebody with absolutely no proof can paint a photo like that which influences someone being jailed and secured while their daughter lies in a medical facility bed, waiting for major surgery.'

She added: 'It seemed like persecution, one of those authorities specifies that individuals speak about.

'Honestly, I do not think I can ever forgive individuals responsible, although we've striven to forget it, and them, as rapidly as possible.'

Nevertheless, while the social services performed their examination, she said, the household needed to live in lodging where other responsible grownups existed.

She included: 'This was including insult to major injury and bearing in mind my gradual decrease in health generally, I was actually beginning to misery.'

It wasn't the very first time Adam Thomas had been examined for supposed violence. In 2016, he was charged with attacking Hannah in a domestic argument, and intimidating a witness.

But when the case pertained to trial, it collapsed, and he was found not guilty of typical attack and witness intimidation during a hearing at Kingston Crown Court. The court heard that three prosecution witnesses were not offered which the case could not continue.

Adam Thomas was found not guilty and discharged.

Hannah and Adam are thought to have chosen Costa Rica to settle after taking pleasure in a journey to the spectacular area in 2018.

Hannah has consistently taken to Instagram to wax lyrical about how well the relocation has actually ended up for them and marvelled at the appeal of Costa Rica

The check out originally motivated them to set up the café, Fire and Earth, in Twickenham in 2022. However, it was never ever ready to open totally and they sold up earlier this year.

A source said: 'It's the current in a series of obstacles. The new plan is selling up and moving to Costa Rica to live off the land.'

Meanwhile Hannah, who has actually suffered from an autoimmune condition considering that 2013, had been set to join her previous band on their return tour in 2023 but pulled out following a feud over agreements.

Following the row, the other members - Rachel Stevens, Jo O'Meara, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh and Tina Barrett - announced that they would continue as a five-piece.

As well as living off the land, there is a large of high-end hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end dining establishments, health food shops, junk food restaurants available to Hannah and Adam

All the mod cons are readily available to the household with 99 percent of the many rental properties and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electrical power and most boast cooling and high-speed web

Hannah was stated to have been blindsided by the S Club announcement, with her being left on bad terms with the band in which she increased to fame in the early 2000s.

She then apparently drafted in legal representatives and made the bold relocation to release her autobiography on the same day the band would have required to the phase.

Before Paul's death, all seven members of the chart-topping band at first confirmed they were reuniting for a landmark 25th anniversary tour.

Hannah initially refused to join the line-up, mentioning a lack of childcare and only concurred to join when music manager Simon Fuller offered to spend for nannies to come along.

Two months later on, band member Paul died, and Hannah then accepted a five-figure amount to inform her story, which left a bitter taste in the staying band member's mouths.
