But as these exclusive photos reveal, even an eco-warrior requires the occasional see to the supermarket in their gas-guzzling 4x4.

Recently, Adam, 45, filled up the couple's 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up with the weekly store at the huge BM grocery store 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 sensational views of lavish 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 plan to 'discover permaculture' so they can 'live off the land' growing vegetables and fruit.

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

'Obviously it depends on numerous aspects such as just how much dough you have, just 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 today stockpiling on the weekly store at B&M

'It can be done, of course, however there are a lot of individuals who've attempted and ignored how difficult it is, then been required to search for some other kind of paid work rather to get by.'

If that should take place to Hannah and Adam, there would be a lot of opportunities in the prospering traveler and browsing 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 wide variety of luxury hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end dining establishments, natural food shops, junk food dining establishments and a substantial BM grocery store, where the couple have both been seen.

Though some Instagram fans have actually assumed the couple's wooden house with glorious views of the sunrise from the balcony would be 'off grid', it practically definitely 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 air conditioning and high-speed internet too, delivered either by fiber 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 will not do not have any mod cons in the home.

At the grocery store today, MailOnline spotted Adam filling a trolley high with goods consisting of loo paper and bread to take home. Before heading back to their apartment or condo, he cleared the truck of some rubbish including a soda cup from McDonald's.

One realty representative in Dominical informed MailOnline: 'There is a really healthy residential or commercial property market around here and it's driven by immigrants. A lot of them are digital wanderers running their organization from here because it's gorgeous, with the jungle, the beaches and the lifestyle.

'But really earning a living from the land is a difficult task, unless you have considerable 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 using this environmentally unfriendly 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up truck to do the everyday tasks like popping to the supermarket

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

It's not understood just how much capital Hannah and Adam have between them, however their plans to open a holistic grocery store in Twickenham had actually to be shelved last year, apparently because of spiralling expenses.

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 offered in March, having actually been on the marketplace for ₤ 900,000.

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

His intemperate Facebook post was accompanied by a sweet photo of his two children, Taya, five and four-year-old Tora, in a hammock at their stunning rain forest house.

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

Could an unsightly incident which saw the couple clash with authorities and social workers three years ago over an injury to their child child have been an aspect in their decision to stop Britain?

The relocation to Costa Rica brought to an end a well-publicised headache couple of years for Hannah, that included the death of her ex-boyfriend and band member Paul Cattermole in 2023, her uncomfortable departure from S Club 7, a dreadful breast augmentation surgery leading to years of ill health and a spell in rehab to wean her off powerful pain medication.

But less popular is among the darkest chapters in her 2023 autobiography, Facing the Music, billed as a 'searingly candid memoir', concerning a clash in between the couple and social services.

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

When then young child Tora suffered an injury, believed to be triggered by a dog jumping up and scratching her eyelid, Hannah composed: 'We discovered ourselves on the radar of social services, an absolutely ludicrous scenario to be in, totally unjustified.'

She recalled the dreadful incident when she ran toward the sound of Tora's screams: 'The scene that I came upon in the living space will stick with me permanently. Tora was basing on the couch, eyelids horrifically lacerated and the worst facial injury I have actually ever seen.'

At the health center, she composed: 'One of the nurses was available in, and asked Adam if she might have a word with him outside. What I didn't understand was that as soon as he left the space, the authorities were awaiting him and detained him, taking him off in handcuffs.

'What was already a dreadful circumstance had ramped up to something inexpressible'.

When the family 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 - pictured in the couple's roomy Costa Rica apartment - ranted about Keir Starmer, the Tories, Reform and the NHS as he bid farewell to Britain

But after the bitterness of giving up the UK, the family's dreams of a brand-new live have actually become a reality as they delight in early morning waterfall walks and an outside play ground as part of their lives

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

She stated: 'It's truly frightening to believe that someone with absolutely zero proof can paint a picture like that which influences someone being detained and secured while their daughter depends on a healthcare facility bed, waiting for major surgery.'

She included: 'It seemed like persecution, among those police 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 quickly as possible.'

Nevertheless, while the social services conducted their investigation, she stated, the household needed to reside in accommodation where other responsible adults were present.

She included: 'This was including insult to serious injury and bearing in mind my steady decrease in health usually, I was actually beginning to despair.'

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

But when the case came to trial, it collapsed, and he was discovered not guilty of typical assault and witness intimidation during a hearing at Kingston Crown Court. The court heard that three prosecution witnesses were not available and that the case could not proceed.

Adam Thomas was not guilty and discharged.

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

Hannah has consistently taken to Instagram to wax lyrical about how well the move has turned out for them and marvelled at the beauty of Costa Rica

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

A source stated: 'It's the most recent in a sequence of problems. 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 because 2013, had been set to join her previous band on their return trip 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 large of luxury hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end restaurants, health food stores, quickly food dining establishments readily available to Hannah and Adam

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

She then reportedly prepared in attorneys and made the vibrant transfer to launch her autobiography on the exact same day the band would have required to the phase.

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

Hannah at first refused to sign up with the line-up, mentioning a lack of childcare and only consented to join when music supervisor Simon Fuller provided to pay for nannies 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 stated she had to do what was best for herself and her household.
