Former S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt has recently delighted her Instagram followers with posts from her picturesque 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 exclusive images reveal, even an eco-warrior needs the periodic see to the supermarket in their gas-guzzling 4x4.

Last week, Adam, 45, filled up the couple's 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up with the weekly store at the huge BM supermarket in Dominical, about half an hour down the mountain from where the couple and their two young children have actually 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 farewell to in January.

Hannah announced to her 348k Instagram fans that the couple now plan to 'discover permaculture' so they can 'live off the land' growing fruit and vegetables.

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

'Naturally 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 local 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 stockpiling on the weekly shop at B&M

Adam was seen bring a McDonald's soda cup as he left the family's gas-guzzling 4x4 truck. B&M supermarket offers a range of products including soft drinks, confectionery, and alcohol, in addition to toiletries and cleaning products and garden furnishings

Hannah has been publishing about her picturesque life in Costa Rica - and included this photo of herself on the veranda of their house neglecting tropical jungle

'It can be done, of course, but there are a great deal of people who've tried and ignored how hard it is, then been required to try to find some other sort of paid work rather to get by.'

If that ought to take place to Hannah and Adam, there would be lots of opportunities in the prospering tourist and surfing resort of Dominical, should 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 just recently.

There is a broad variety of luxury hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end dining establishments, natural food shops, fast food dining establishments and a huge BM grocery store, where the couple have actually both been seen.

Though some Instagram followers have presumed the couple's wood house with wonderful views of the sunrise from the terrace would be 'off grid', it nearly definitely is not.

More than 99 per cent of the numerous villas and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electriicty and most boast a/c and high-speed web also, provided either by fibre optic cable television or satellite.

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

At the grocery store today, MailOnline identified Adam packing a trolley high with goods including bathroom paper and bread to take home. Before heading back to their house, he emptied the truck of some rubbish including a soda cup from McDonald's.

One property agent in Dominical informed MailOnline: 'There is an extremely healthy residential or commercial property market around here and it's driven by foreigners. Many of them are digital nomads running their business from here since it's beautiful, with the jungle, the beaches and the lifestyle.

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

Hannah posted this video of a campfire and a Volkswagen camper van as part of the household's clean slates after giving up the UK for the warmer climes of central America

However, the truth is that Hannah and Adam are using this environmentally unfriendly 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up truck to do the everyday chores like popping to the grocery store

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 stopping S Club 7

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

The industrial 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 been on the market for ₤ 900,000.

Adam revealed the couple's transfer to Central America back in January with a 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 photo of his two daughters, Taya, five and four-year-old Tora, in a hammock at their stunning tropical rain forest home.

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

Could an ugly event which saw the couple clash with police and social workers 3 years back over an injury to their baby child have been an aspect in their choice to quit Britain?

The relocate to Costa Rica brought to an end a well-publicised problem few 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 augmentation surgery resulting in years of ill health and a spell in rehabilitation to wean her off powerful pain reliever.

But less well understood is one of the darkest chapters in her 2023 autobiography, Facing the Music, billed as a 'searingly candid memoir', worrying a clash in 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 young child Tora suffered an injury, thought to be caused by a dog jumping up and scratching her eyelid, Hannah wrote: 'We found ourselves on the radar of social services, a definitely ridiculous circumstance to be in, completely unjustified.'

She recalled the horrific event when she ran toward the sound of Tora's screams: 'The scene that I encountered in the living room will remain with me permanently. Tora was basing on the couch, eyelids horrifically lacerated and the worst facial injury I have actually ever seen.'

At the medical facility, she composed: 'Among the nurses can be found in, and asked Adam if she might have a word with him outside. What I didn't know was that as quickly as he left the space, the authorities were waiting on him and detained him, taking him off in handcuffs.

'What was currently an awful circumstance had actually increase to something indescribable'.

When the household landed in Costa Rica Hannah's partner Adam posted this image on his public Facebook page of their 2 children and included an expletive-laden rant at the UK

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

But after the bitterness of quitting the UK, the household's imagine a brand-new live have come real as they take pleasure in early morning waterfall strolls and an outdoor play area as part of their every day lives

Hannah claimed that media reports about their short-lived homelessness had somehow convinced the authorities that it was most likely that a person or other of them had actually caused their daughter's injuries.

She said: 'It's genuinely frightening to believe that someone with definitely zero proof can paint a picture like that which affects somebody being jailed and locked up while their child lies in a healthcare facility bed, awaiting major surgical treatment.'

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

'Honestly, I don't think I can ever forgive individuals responsible, although we've made every effort to ignore it, and them, as quickly as possible.'

Nevertheless, while the social services performed their investigation, she said, the family had to live in accommodation where other responsible adults existed.

She added: 'This was including insult to serious injury and bearing in mind my gradual decline in health normally, I was truly beginning to despair.'

It wasn't the very first time Adam Thomas had actually been investigated 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 found not guilty of common attack and witness intimidation during a hearing at Kingston Crown Court. The court heard that 3 prosecution witnesses were not offered which the case could not continue.

Adam Thomas was discovered not guilty and released.

Hannah and Adam are believed to have chosen Costa Rica to settle after enjoying a journey to the spectacular location in 2018.

Hannah has actually consistently required to Instagram to wax lyrical about how well the relocation has turned out for them and admired the appeal 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 all set to open totally and they sold up earlier this year.

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

Meanwhile Hannah, who has actually struggled with an autoimmune condition given that 2013, had been set to join her former band on their resurgence trip in 2023 but took out following a fight 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.

As well as living off the land, there is a broad of luxury hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end dining establishments, natural food shops, fast food restaurants readily available to Hannah and Adam

All the mod cons are readily available to the household with 99 percent of the lots of villas and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electrical energy and most boast a/c and high-speed internet

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 increased to popularity in the early 2000s.

She then reportedly prepared in attorneys and made the strong transfer to release her autobiography on the very same day the band would have required to the phase.

Before Paul's death, all 7 members of the chart-topping band initially confirmed they were reuniting for a landmark 25th anniversary trip.

Hannah at first refused to sign up with the line-up, citing an absence of child care and only consented to sign up with when music manager Simon Fuller used 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.
