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

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

Many of them are digital nomads running their organization from here due to the fact that it's gorgeous, with the jungle, the beaches and the lifestyle.

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 since of spiralling expenses.

The industrial 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 market for ₤ 900,000.

His intemperate Facebook post was accompanied by a sweet photo of his 2 children, Taya, five and four-year-old Tora, in a hammock at their sensational tropical rain forest home.

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

Could an unsightly occurrence which saw the couple clash with police and social workers 3 years earlier over an injury to their infant child have been an aspect in their choice to stop Britain?

The transfer to Costa Rica brought to an end a well-publicised headache few 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 devastating breast implant surgical treatment resulting in years of illness and a spell in rehabilitation to wean her off powerful pain killers.

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, thought to be triggered by a pet dog leaping up and scratching her eyelid, Hannah wrote: 'We discovered ourselves on the radar of social services, a definitely outrageous situation to be in, completely 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-room will stick with me forever. Tora was basing on the couch, eyelids horrifically lacerated and the worst facial injury I've ever seen.'

At the healthcare facility, she composed: '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 room, the cops were waiting for him and detained him, taking him off in handcuffs.

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

Hannah declared that media reports about their temporary homelessness had in some way persuaded the authorities that it was most likely that a person or other of them had caused their child's injuries.

She said: 'It's really frightening to think that somebody with absolutely no proof can paint a photo like that which influences someone being arrested and locked up while their daughter depends on a healthcare facility bed, awaiting significant surgical treatment.'

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

'Honestly, I don't believe I can ever forgive the people accountable, although we have actually made every effort to ignore it, and them, as rapidly as possible.'

Nevertheless, while the social services performed their examination, she stated, the family had to reside in lodging where other accountable adults were present.

She included: 'This was adding insult to major injury and bearing in mind my gradual decrease in health usually, I was truly beginning to despair.'

It wasn't the very first time Adam Thomas had actually been examined for supposed 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 common assault and witness intimidation during a hearing at Kingston Crown Court. The court heard that 3 prosecution witnesses were not readily available and that the case could not proceed.

Adam Thomas was found not guilty and released.
