Former S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt has actually recently delighted her Instagram followers with posts from her idyllic brand-new tropical home in Costa Rica, where she and her partner Adam Thomas are identified to 'live off the land'.


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


But as these unique pictures show, even an eco-warrior requires the periodic visit to the supermarket in their gas-guzzling 4x4.


Recently, Adam, 45, packed 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 based themselves.


Hannah and Adam's hillside estate with its own waterfalls and stunning views of lavish green valleys is a far cry from their life in Britain, which they waved bye-bye to in January.


Hannah revealed to her 348k Instagram fans that the couple now prepare to 'learn permaculture' so they can 'live off the land' growing fruit and veggies.


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


'Obviously it depends on numerous factors such as how much dough you have, just how much land and above all, how much experience,' said an American member of the regional ex-pat Facebook group, Domi Crew.

'It can be done, naturally, but there are a lot of people who've tried and underestimated how tough it is, then been required to try to find some other type of paid work instead to get by.'


If that should happen to Hannah and Adam, there would be plenty of opportunities in the flourishing traveler and surfing resort of Dominical, should the couple choose to work.


The town is less than half an hour's drive down the mountain in their substantial gas-guzzling 3.0 litre diesel Toyota Hi Lux pick-up which Hannah flaunted on Instagram just recently.


There is a large variety of high-end hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end restaurants, natural food shops, quickly food restaurants and a big BM supermarket, where the couple have both been seen.

More than 99 per cent of the numerous villas and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electriicty and most boast air conditioning and high-speed internet too, provided either by fibre optic cable or satellite.


Judging by images posted by Adam on Facebook in their airy kitchen with a high vaulted ceiling, the family won't do not have any mod cons in the home.


At the supermarket this week, MailOnline spotted Adam filling a trolley high with products including loo paper and bread to take home. Before heading back to their apartment, he cleared the truck of some rubbish consisting of a soft beverage cup from McDonald's.


One property agent in Dominical told MailOnline: 'There is a really healthy residential or commercial property market around here and it's driven by foreigners. Much of them are digital wanderers running their company from here because it's gorgeous, with the jungle, the beaches and the quality of life.


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

When then young child Tora suffered an injury, believed to be caused by a pet dog leaping up and scratching her eyelid, Hannah composed: 'We discovered ourselves on the radar of social services, a definitely ridiculous circumstance to be in, absolutely unjustified.'


She remembered the horrific incident when she ran towards the sound of Tora's screams: 'The scene that I came upon in the living space 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 healthcare facility, she composed: 'One of the nurses came in, and asked Adam if she could have a word with him outside. What I didn't understand was that as quickly as he left the room, the police were waiting on him and jailed him, taking him off in handcuffs.


'What was already an awful scenario had ramped up to something indescribable'.

She included: 'It felt like persecution, one of those cops specifies that individuals speak about.


'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 examination, she stated, the family had to live in lodging where other responsible grownups existed.


She added: 'This was adding insult to major injury and bearing in mind my steady decrease in health usually, I was truly starting to despair.'


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


But when the case concerned trial, it collapsed, and he was found not guilty of common assault and witness intimidation throughout a hearing at Kingston Crown Court. The court heard that three prosecution witnesses were not available and that the case might not proceed.
