Former S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt has actually just recently thrilled her Instagram followers with posts from her idyllic 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 exclusive images show, even an eco-warrior requires the occasional visit 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 shop at the huge BM grocery store in Dominical, about half an hour down the mountain from where the couple and their 2 young children have based themselves.
Hannah and Adam's hillside estate with its own waterfalls and spectacular views of rich green valleys is a far cry from their life in Britain, which they waved farewell to in January.
Hannah revealed to her 348k Instagram followers that the couple now plan to 'find out permaculture' so they can 'live off the land' growing fruit and veggies.
But locals and other expats in the hills above Dominical on Costa Rica's Pacific coast, told MailOnline that the obstacles of self-sufficiency can be 'immense'.
'Obviously it depends upon a number of elements such as just how much dough you have, just how much land and above all, just how much experience,' stated an American member of the local ex-pat Facebook group, Domi Crew.

'It can be done, of course, however there are a lot of people who have actually attempted and undervalued how tough it is, then been required to try to find some other sort of paid work instead to get by.'
If that must occur to Hannah and Adam, there would be lots of chances in the flourishing traveler and surfing 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 huge gas-guzzling 3.0 litre diesel Toyota Hi Lux pick-up which Hannah displayed on Instagram recently.

Though some Instagram fans have presumed the couple's wood home with remarkable views of the dawn from the terrace would be 'off grid', it practically certainly is not.
More than 99 percent of the lots of vacation homes and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electriicty and most boast air conditioning and high-speed web as well, provided either by fiber optic cable television or satellite.
Judging by images posted 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 supermarket today, MailOnline identified Adam filling a trolley high with goods including loo paper and bread to take home. Before heading back to their home, he cleared the truck of some rubbish including a soft drink cup from McDonald's.
One real estate representative in Dominical told MailOnline: 'There is an extremely healthy residential or commercial property market around here and it's driven by immigrants. Much of them are digital nomads running their business 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 hard job, unless you have significant resources and knowledge, or have enough residential or commercial property to lease it out to paying guests.'
Hannah posted this video of a campfire and a Volkswagen camper van as part of the family's new beginnings after giving up the UK for the warmer climates of central America
However, the reality is that Hannah and Adam are using this ecologically unfriendly 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up truck to do the day-to-day tasks like popping to the supermarket
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 stopping S Club 7
It's not understood how much capital Hannah and Adam have in between them, but their strategies to open a holistic food store in Twickenham had actually to be shelved in 2015, apparently because of spiralling expenses.
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 offered in March, having actually been on the marketplace for ₤ 900,000.
Adam revealed the couple's move to Central America back in January with a foul-mouthed attack on Britain, declaring 'F *** the UK and f *** the f *** ing lot of them. We GOOONE!!!'.
His intemperate Facebook post was accompanied by a sweet image 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 colors, and 'nosey jobsworth c *** s in every government department and the NHS' raised another concern.
Could an awful event which saw the couple clash with authorities and social workers three years ago over an injury to their infant child have been a consider their decision to quit Britain?
The move to Costa Rica gave an end a well-publicised problem couple of 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 disastrous breast implant surgery leading to years of ill health and a spell in rehab to wean her off powerful pain reliever.
But less well understood is among the darkest chapters in her 2023 autobiography, Facing the Music, billed as a 'searingly honest narrative', worrying a clash in 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 between rental flats.
When then young child Tora suffered an injury, believed to be triggered by a pet leaping up and scratching her eyelid, Hannah wrote: 'We discovered ourselves on the radar of social services, an absolutely ludicrous circumstance to be in, completely unjustified.'
She recalled the horrific incident when she ran toward the sound of Tora's screams: 'The scene that I came upon in the living-room will remain with me permanently. Tora was standing on the sofa, eyelids horrifically lacerated and the worst facial injury I have actually ever seen.'
At the healthcare facility, she wrote: 'Among the nurses was available 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 authorities were waiting for him and apprehended him, taking him off in handcuffs.
'What was currently an awful circumstance had actually increase to something indescribable'.
When the family landed in Costa Rica Hannah's partner Adam posted this photo on his public Facebook page of their two daughters and consisted of an expletive-laden tirade at the UK

But after the bitterness of stopping the UK, the family's imagine a new live have become a reality as they enjoy morning waterfall walks and an outdoor play area as part of their every day lives
Hannah claimed that media reports about their short-lived homelessness had in some way convinced the authorities that it was most likely that one or other of them had actually inflicted their child's injuries.
She said: 'It's really frightening to believe that somebody with definitely no proof can paint a photo like that which affects someone being jailed and locked up while their daughter depends on a health center bed, waiting on major surgery.'
She added: 'It felt like persecution, one of those cops specifies that individuals speak about.
'Honestly, I don't think I can ever forgive the individuals accountable, although we've striven to forget it, and them, as rapidly as possible.'
Nevertheless, while the social services performed their examination, she said, the household had to live in accommodation where other responsible grownups were present.
She added: 'This was adding insult to severe injury and bearing in mind my progressive decline in health normally, I was actually starting to misery.'
It wasn't the first time Adam Thomas had been investigated for supposed 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 assault and witness intimidation during a hearing at Kingston Crown Court. The court heard that three prosecution witnesses were not offered which the case might not continue.
Adam Thomas was found not guilty and discharged.

Hannah has repeatedly taken to Instagram to wax lyrical about how well the relocation has actually ended up for them and marvelled at the appeal of Costa Rica
The go to originally motivated them to set up the coffee shop, Fire and Earth, in Twickenham in 2022. However, it was never prepared to open totally and they offered up earlier this year.
