The Truth Behind Hannah Spearritt s off-grid Life In Costa Rica

Former S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt has actually just recently thrilled her Instagram fans with posts from her picturesque brand-new tropical home in Costa Rica, where she and her partner Adam Thomas are figured out to 'live off the land'.


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


But as these special photos show, even an eco-warrior requires the occasional see to the grocery store 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 store 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 bye-bye to in January.


Hannah announced to her 348k Instagram followers that the couple now prepare to 'find out 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 upon several factors such as how much dough you have, just how much land and above all, just how much experience,' said an American member of the regional ex-pat Facebook group, Domi Crew.

Despite Hannah changing her Instagram bio to: 'Prepper, survivalist and creator now living the uninhibited jungle life', Adam was seen today stockpiling on the weekly store at B&M


Adam was seen carrying a McDonald's soft drink cup as he got out of the household's gas-guzzling 4x4 truck. B&M grocery store sells a variety of products consisting of sodas, confectionery, and alcohol, along with toiletries and cleansing items and garden furniture

'It can be done, naturally, however there are a lot of individuals who have actually attempted and ignored how tough it is, then been forced to search for some other kind of paid work rather to manage.'


If that ought to take place to Hannah and Adam, there would be lots of opportunities in the thriving tourist and browsing resort of Dominical, ought to the couple choose 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.


There is a large range of high-end hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end dining establishments, natural food shops, fast food restaurants and a huge BM grocery store, where the couple have both been seen.


Though some Instagram fans have assumed the couple's wooden house with wonderful views of the sunrise from the balcony would be 'off grid', it probably is not.


More than 99 percent of the lots of rental properties and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electriicty and most boast air conditioning and high-speed web too, delivered either by fiber optic cable television or satellite.


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


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


One realty agent in Dominical informed MailOnline: 'There is a really 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 due to the fact that it's gorgeous, with the jungle, the beaches and the lifestyle.


'But actually earning a living from the land is a difficult job, unless you have considerable resources and know-how, or have sufficient residential or commercial property to rent it out to paying visitors.'


Hannah published this video of a campfire and a Volkswagen camper van as part of the family's new starts after giving up the UK for the warmer climes of main America


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 chores like popping to the supermarket


Hannah moved 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 quitting S Club 7


It's not understood how much capital Hannah and Adam have between them, but their strategies to open a holistic supermarket in Twickenham had actually to be shelved in 2015, supposedly because of spiralling costs.


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


Adam revealed the couple's transfer 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 2 daughters, Taya, 5 and four-year-old Tora, in a hammock at their sensational rain forest home.


But the bitter tone of his invective versus politicians of all shades, and 'nosey jobsworth c *** s in every federal government department and the NHS' raised another question.


Could an awful incident which saw the couple clash with cops and social workers three years back over an injury to their baby daughter have been an element in their decision to give up Britain?


The move to Costa Rica brought to an end a well-publicised nightmare couple of years for Hannah, which included the death of her ex-boyfriend and band member Paul Cattermole in 2023, her awkward departure from S Club 7, a dreadful breast augmentation surgery resulting in years of ill health and a spell in rehabilitation to wean her off effective discomfort killers.


But less popular is among the darkest chapters in her 2023 autobiography, Facing the Music, billed as a 'searingly honest 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 toddler Tora suffered an injury, believed to be brought on by a pet leaping up and scratching her eyelid, Hannah composed: 'We discovered ourselves on the radar of social services, an absolutely ludicrous scenario to be in, completely unjustified.'


She remembered the dreadful occurrence when she ran towards the noise of Tora's screams: 'The scene that I came across in the living-room will stick with me permanently. Tora was basing on the sofa, eyelids horrifically lacerated and the worst facial injury I have actually ever seen.'


At the health center, she wrote: 'Among the nurses can be found 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 space, the authorities were awaiting him and apprehended him, taking him off in handcuffs.


'What was currently a terrible circumstance had actually ramped up to something inexpressible'.


When the household landed in Costa Rica Hannah's partner Adam posted this picture on his public Facebook page of their 2 children and consisted of an expletive-laden tirade at the UK


Adam - envisioned in the couple's spacious 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 stopping the UK, the household's imagine a new live have become a reality as they delight in morning waterfall walks and an outdoor play area as part of their every day lives


Hannah declared that media reports about their short-term homelessness had somehow persuaded the authorities that it was most likely that one or other of them had caused their child's injuries.


She said: 'It's really frightening to think that somebody with definitely no evidence can paint a photo like that which influences somebody being apprehended and locked up while their child lies in a healthcare facility bed, waiting on significant surgical treatment.'


She added: 'It seemed like persecution, among those police states that individuals talk about.


'Honestly, I do not believe I can ever forgive individuals responsible, although we've striven to forget it, and them, as quickly as possible.'


Nevertheless, while the social services performed their investigation, she said, the family needed to reside in accommodation where other accountable grownups existed.


She included: 'This was adding insult to severe injury and bearing in mind my steady decline in health typically, I was actually starting to anguish.'


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


But when the case pertained to trial, it collapsed, and he was discovered 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 which the case could not continue.


Adam Thomas was found not guilty and released.


Hannah and Adam are believed to have actually selected Costa Rica to settle after enjoying a journey to the stunning area in 2018.


Hannah has repeatedly required to Instagram to wax lyrical about how well the relocation has turned out for them and marvelled at the charm of Costa Rica


The see originally inspired them to set up the café, Fire and Earth, in Twickenham in 2022. However, it was never all set to open completely and they sold up earlier this year.


A source stated: 'It's the most current in a sequence of obstacles. The new strategy 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 actually been set to join her previous band on their return trip in 2023 but took out following a feud over contracts.


Following the row, the other members - Rachel Stevens, Jo O'Meara, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh and Tina Barrett - announced that they would continue as a five-piece.


Along with living off the land, there is a broad of luxury hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end dining establishments, natural food stores, fast food dining establishments readily available to Hannah and Adam

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


She then apparently drafted in lawyers and made the strong transfer to release 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 at first confirmed they were reuniting for a landmark 25th anniversary tour.


Hannah at first refused to join the line-up, mentioning a lack of childcare and just consented to join when music supervisor Simon Fuller used to pay for nannies to come along.


Two months later, band member Paul passed away, and Hannah then accepted a five-figure sum to inform her story, which left a bitter taste in the staying band member's mouths.
