Former S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt has actually recently thrilled her Instagram followers 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 creator now living the uninhibited jungle life.'
But as these unique images show, even an eco-warrior needs the occasional see to the supermarket 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 shop at the big BM grocery store 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 stunning views of rich 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 'discover 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 obstacles of self-sufficiency can be 'immense'.
'Of course it depends upon a number of elements such as just how much dough you have, how much land and above all, 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 creator now living the uninhibited jungle life', Adam was seen this week equipping up on the weekly store at B&M
Adam was seen bring a McDonald's soda cup as he got out of the household's gas-guzzling 4x4 truck. B&M supermarket sells a range of items including sodas, confectionery, and alcohol, in addition to toiletries and cleansing products and garden furnishings

'It can be done, obviously, but there are a great deal of people who've tried and ignored how hard it is, then been required to search for some other type of paid work instead to manage.'
If that must happen to Hannah and Adam, there would be a lot of opportunities in the prospering traveler 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 displayed on Instagram recently.
There is a large range of luxury hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end restaurants, natural food shops, junk food dining establishments and a big BM supermarket, where the couple have actually both been seen.
Though some Instagram fans have actually assumed the couple's wood home with marvelous views of the sunrise from the terrace would be 'off grid', it likely is not.
More than 99 per cent of the numerous rental properties and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electriicty and most boast a/c and high-speed web as well, provided either by fibre optic cable television or satellite.
Judging by images published by Adam on Facebook in their airy cooking area with a high vaulted ceiling, the household won't do not have any mod cons in the home.
At the supermarket this week, MailOnline identified Adam loading a trolley high with products including bathroom paper and bread to take home. Before heading back to their apartment or condo, he emptied the truck of some rubbish consisting of a soda cup from McDonald's.
One genuine estate representative in Dominical informed 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 organization from here because it's stunning, with the jungle, the beaches and the quality of life.
'But actually earning a living from the land is a tough task, unless you have substantial resources and know-how, or have sufficient residential or commercial property to rent it out to paying guests.'
Hannah published this video of a campfire and a Volkswagen camper van as part of the family's brand-new starts after giving up the UK for the warmer climes of central America
However, the reality is that Hannah and Adam are using this ecologically hostile 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up truck to do the daily chores like popping to the grocery store
Hannah relocated to Costa Rica after a series of well-publicised problems including the death of her ex-boyfriend and band member Paul Cattermole and the row over her stopping S Club 7
It's not known how much capital Hannah and Adam have between them, however their plans to open a holistic supermarket in Twickenham had to be shelved in 2015, reportedly since of spiralling costs.
The business 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 sold in March, having actually been on the marketplace for ₤ 900,000.
Adam announced the couple's transfer 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 photo of his 2 children, Taya, 5 and four-year-old Tora, in a hammock at their stunning rain forest house.
But the bitter tone of his invective versus politicians of all shades, and 'nosey jobsworth c *** s in every government department and the NHS' raised another concern.
Could an awful occurrence which saw the couple clash with authorities and social workers 3 years earlier over an injury to their child daughter have been a factor in their decision to quit Britain?
The relocation to Costa Rica gave an end a well-publicised problem 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 implant surgery leading to years of ill health and a spell in rehabilitation to wean her off effective pain reliever.
But less well known is one of the darkest chapters in her 2023 autobiography, Facing the Music, billed as a 'searingly honest narrative', worrying a clash between the couple and social services.
In December 2022, while house-sitting for buddies 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 triggered by a canine jumping up and scratching her eyelid, Hannah composed: 'We discovered ourselves on the radar of social services, an absolutely outrageous situation to be in, absolutely unjustified.'
She recalled the horrific occurrence when she ran toward the noise of Tora's screams: 'The scene that I came across in the living space will stay with me forever. Tora was standing on the couch, eyelids horrifically lacerated and the worst facial injury I have actually ever seen.'
At the medical facility, she wrote: 'One of the nurses was available 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 room, the police were waiting on him and arrested him, taking him off in handcuffs.
'What was already a horrible situation had ramped up to something inexpressible'.
When the family landed in Costa Rica Hannah's partner Adam posted this photo on his public Facebook page of their 2 daughters and consisted of an expletive-laden rant 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 said bye-bye to Britain
But after the bitterness of quitting the UK, the household's dreams of a new live have actually become a reality as they take pleasure in morning waterfall strolls and an outdoor play ground as part of their lives
Hannah declared that media reports about their short-lived homelessness had in some way persuaded the authorities that it was most likely that one or other of them had caused their child's injuries.
She stated: 'It's genuinely frightening to think that someone with absolutely zero evidence can paint an image like that which affects somebody being jailed and locked up while their child lies in a health center bed, waiting for significant surgery.'
She included: 'It seemed like persecution, among those authorities specifies that people discuss.
'Honestly, I don't believe I can ever forgive individuals accountable, although we've made every effort to forget about it, and them, as quickly as possible.'
Nevertheless, while the social services conducted their investigation, she said, the family needed to reside in lodging where other responsible adults existed.
She included: 'This was including insult to major injury and bearing in mind my gradual decline in health typically, I was actually starting to despair.'
It wasn't the very first time Adam Thomas had been examined for alleged violence. In 2016, he was charged with assaulting Hannah in a domestic argument, and daunting a witness.
But when the case concerned 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 three prosecution witnesses were not offered and that the case might not continue.
Adam Thomas was discovered not guilty and released.
Hannah and Adam are thought to have actually chosen Costa Rica to settle after delighting in a trip to the sensational area in 2018.
Hannah has consistently taken to Instagram to wax lyrical about how well the relocation has actually ended up for them and admired the beauty of Costa Rica
The check out initially motivated them to set up the coffee shop, Fire and Earth, in Twickenham in 2022. However, it was never ever prepared to open fully and they sold up earlier this year.
A source stated: 'It's the newest in a series of setbacks. The brand-new plan is selling up and transferring to Costa Rica to live off the land.'
Meanwhile Hannah, who has struggled with an autoimmune condition since 2013, had actually been set to join her former band on their return tour in 2023 however pulled 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.
In addition to living off the land, there is a broad of high-end hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end dining establishments, natural food stores, junk food restaurants offered to Hannah and Adam
All the mod cons are available to the family with 99 per cent of the many rental properties and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electricity and most boast a/c and high-speed web
Hannah was said to have been blindsided by the S Club announcement, 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 legal representatives and made the strong transfer to launch her autobiography on the very same day the band would have taken to the phase.
Before Paul's death, all 7 members of the chart-topping band initially validated they were reuniting for a landmark 25th anniversary trip.
Hannah at first refused to sign up with the line-up, pointing out a lack of childcare and only agreed to sign up with when music manager Simon Fuller used to spend for baby-sitters to come along.
Two months later on, band member Paul passed away, and Hannah then accepted a five-figure amount to inform her story, which left a bitter taste in the staying band member's mouths.
The Dancing On Ice star apologised to S Club's fans for choosing to leave but said she had to do what was best for herself and her household.
