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

But as these unique images reveal, even an eco-warrior needs the periodic see to the grocery store in their gas-guzzling 4x4.

Recently, Adam, 45, loaded up the couple's 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up with the weekly shop at the huge 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 spectacular views of lush green valleys is a far cry from their life in Britain, which they waved goodbye to in January.

'It can be done, of course, however there are a lot of individuals who've attempted and underestimated how tough it is, then been forced to try to find some other sort of paid work instead to get by.'

If that ought to happen to Hannah and Adam, there would be a lot of opportunities in the prospering 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 displayed on Instagram recently.

There is a vast array of high-end hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end restaurants, healthy food shops, junk food restaurants and a huge BM grocery store, where the couple have both been seen.

Though some Instagram fans have actually assumed the couple's wood house with glorious views of the daybreak from the terrace would be 'off grid', it probably is not.

More than 99 percent of the numerous rental properties and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electriicty and most boast air conditioning and high-speed internet as well, provided either by fiber optic cable or satellite.

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

At the grocery store this week, MailOnline found Adam filling a trolley high with items including bathroom paper and bread to take home. Before heading back to their apartment or condo, he emptied the truck of some rubbish including a soda cup from McDonald's.

One genuine estate representative in Dominical told 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 nomads running their organization from here since it's lovely, 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 considerable resources and know-how, or have sufficient residential or commercial property to rent it out to paying guests.'

However, the truth is that Hannah and Adam are using this ecologically unfriendly 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up truck to do the daily tasks 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 understood how much capital Hannah and Adam have between them, but their strategies to open a holistic food shop in Twickenham needed to be shelved last year, supposedly due to the fact that of spiralling costs.

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

Adam announced 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 lot of them. We GOOONE!!!'.

His post was accompanied by a sweet image of his 2 daughters, Taya, five and four-year-old Tora, in a hammock at their spectacular rain forest house.

But the bitter tone of his invective against political leaders of all shades, 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 employees three years back over an injury to their child daughter have been an aspect in their choice to give up Britain?

The transfer to Costa Rica brought to an end a well-publicised nightmare few years for Hannah, which consisted of the death of her ex-boyfriend and band member Paul Cattermole in 2023, her awkward departure from S Club 7, a disastrous breast augmentation surgical treatment resulting in years of disease 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', concerning a clash 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, thought to be triggered by a dog jumping up and scratching her eyelid, Hannah wrote: 'We found ourselves on the radar of social services, a definitely ludicrous circumstance to be in, totally unjustified.'

She recalled the horrific incident when she ran towards the noise of Tora's screams: 'The scene that I came across in the living-room will remain with me forever. Tora was basing on the couch, eyelids horrifically lacerated and the worst facial injury I have actually ever seen.'

At the healthcare facility, she composed: 'Among the nurses came 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 awaiting him and apprehended him, taking him off in handcuffs.

'What was already a dreadful scenario had actually ramped up to something indescribable'.

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

But after the bitterness of quitting the UK, the household's imagine a new live have come true as they delight in early morning waterfall strolls and an outside play area as part of their lives

Hannah claimed that media reports about their temporary homelessness had actually in some way convinced the authorities that it was most likely that one or other of them had inflicted their daughter's injuries.

She stated: 'It's genuinely frightening to think that somebody with definitely no evidence can paint a picture like that which influences someone being arrested and locked up while their child depends on a healthcare facility bed, waiting for significant surgical treatment.'

She included: 'It seemed like persecution, among those cops specifies that people speak about.

'Honestly, I don't think I can ever forgive individuals responsible, although we have actually striven to forget it, and them, as rapidly as possible.'

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

She included: 'This was including insult to serious injury and bearing in mind my gradual decline in health generally, I was actually starting 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 frightening a witness.

But when the case came to trial, it collapsed, and he was found not guilty of typical 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 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 enjoying a trip to the sensational place in 2018.

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

The visit originally inspired them to set up the café, Fire and Earth, in Twickenham in 2022. However, it was never ever ready to open totally and they offered up previously this year.

Meanwhile Hannah, who has actually experienced an autoimmune condition given that 2013, had been set to join her previous 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.

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

She then supposedly drafted in attorneys and made the vibrant relocate to release her autobiography on the exact same day the band would have required to the phase.

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