Former S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt has recently thrilled her Instagram fans with posts from her idyllic new tropical home in Costa Rica, where she and her partner Adam Thomas are figured out to 'live off the land'.

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

But as these special pictures reveal, even an eco-warrior requires the periodic check out 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 big BM supermarket in Dominical, about half an hour down the mountain from where the couple and their two young daughters have based themselves.

Hannah and Adam's hillside estate with its own waterfalls and spectacular 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 fans that the couple now prepare to 'learn permaculture' so they can 'live off the land' growing vegetables and fruit.

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'.

'It can be done, obviously, but there are a great deal of people who've tried and undervalued how hard it is, then been forced to search for some other type of paid work instead to get by.'

If that must occur to Hannah and Adam, there would be plenty of chances in the thriving tourist and browsing resort of Dominical, ought to the couple decide 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 vast array of high-end hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end dining establishments, natural food stores, junk food restaurants and a substantial BM grocery store, where the couple have actually both been seen.

Though some Instagram fans have actually presumed the couple's wooden home with wonderful views of the dawn from the balcony would be 'off grid', it practically definitely is not.

More than 99 per cent of the lots of rental properties and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electriicty and most boast a/c and high-speed internet as well, delivered either by fiber optic cable television or satellite.

Judging by pictures published by Adam on Facebook in their airy kitchen area with a high vaulted ceiling, the family will not lack any mod cons in the home.

At the grocery store this week, MailOnline found Adam filling a trolley high with items consisting of loo paper and bread to take home. Before heading back to their house, he emptied the truck of some rubbish including a soft drink cup from McDonald's.

One property representative in Dominical informed MailOnline: 'There is a really healthy residential or commercial property market around here and it's driven by immigrants. A number of them are digital nomads running their business from here since it's stunning, with the jungle, the beaches and the quality of life.

'But actually earning a living from the land is a hard task, unless you have significant resources and knowledge, or have enough residential or commercial property to lease it out to paying visitors.'

However, the reality is that Hannah and Adam are utilizing this environmentally hostile 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up truck to do the daily tasks like popping to the grocery store

Hannah relocated to Costa Rica after a series of well-publicised obstacles including 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 between them, however their strategies to open a holistic food shop in Twickenham needed to be shelved in 2015, reportedly since of spiralling expenses.

The commercial residential or commercial property in the heart of Twickenham village, bought in Hannah's name in November 2018 for ₤ 520,000 with a mortgage, was offered 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, declaring 'F *** the UK and f *** the f *** ing great deal of them. We GOOONE!!!'.

His intemperate Facebook post was accompanied by a sweet picture of his two 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 politicians of all hues, and 'nosey jobsworth c *** s in every federal government department and the NHS' raised another question.

Could an awful event which saw the couple clash with cops and social workers three years ago over an injury to their child daughter have been a consider their choice to stop Britain?

The relocate to Costa Rica brought to an end a well-publicised headache couple of years for Hannah, which consisted of the death of her ex-boyfriend and band member Paul Cattermole in 2023, her uncomfortable departure from S Club 7, a disastrous breast implant surgical treatment leading to years of ill health and a spell in rehabilitation to wean her off effective discomfort killers.

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

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

When then toddler Tora suffered an injury, believed to be caused by a canine leaping up and scratching her eyelid, Hannah wrote: 'We found ourselves on the radar of social services, a definitely outrageous scenario to be in, completely unjustified.'

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

At the medical facility, she composed: 'One of the nurses came in, and asked Adam if she could have a word with him outside. What I didn't know was that as quickly as he left the room, the cops were waiting on him and arrested him, taking him off in handcuffs.

'What was currently an awful situation had actually ramped up to something indescribable'.

When the family landed in Costa Rica Hannah's partner Adam published this picture on his public Facebook page of their 2 daughters and consisted of an expletive-laden tirade at the UK

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

But after the bitterness of stopping the UK, the household's dreams of a brand-new live have actually become a reality as they take pleasure in morning waterfall walks and an outdoor play area as part of their day-to-day lives

Hannah claimed that media reports about their temporary homelessness had somehow persuaded the authorities that it was likely that a person or other of them had inflicted their daughter's injuries.

She said: 'It's truly frightening to think that somebody with absolutely no evidence can paint a photo like that which affects someone being arrested and locked up while their daughter lies in a hospital bed, awaiting significant surgery.'

She added: 'It seemed like persecution, among those authorities specifies that people discuss.

'Honestly, I do not think I can ever forgive the people responsible, although we have actually made every effort to forget it, and them, as quickly as possible.'

Nevertheless, while the social services performed their investigation, she said, the family had to reside in lodging where other responsible grownups were present.

She included: 'This was adding insult to severe injury and bearing in mind my steady decline in health typically, I was truly starting to despair.'

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

But when the case pertained to trial, it collapsed, and he was discovered not guilty of common assault and witness intimidation throughout a hearing at Kingston Crown Court. The court heard that 3 prosecution witnesses were not offered and that the case could not proceed.

Adam Thomas was found not guilty and released.

Hannah and Adam are thought to have actually picked Costa Rica to settle after delighting in a trip to the spectacular area in 2018.

Hannah has consistently required to Instagram to wax lyrical about how well the move has ended up for them and admired the beauty of Costa Rica

The visit initially influenced them to establish the coffee shop, Fire and Earth, in Twickenham in 2022. However, it was never ever ready to open totally and they offered up previously this year.

A source stated: 'It's the most recent in a series of obstacles. The brand-new strategy is selling up and transferring to Costa Rica to live off the land.'

Meanwhile Hannah, who has actually suffered from an autoimmune condition since 2013, had actually been set to join her former band on their comeback trip in 2023 however took out following a feud over agreements.

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

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

She then apparently drafted in attorneys and made the strong transfer to release her autobiography on the same day the band would have taken to the phase.

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

Hannah initially declined to sign up with the line-up, mentioning an absence of child care and only consented to join when music supervisor 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 sum to tell her story, which left a bitter taste in the remaining band member's mouths.
