Well after doing some proper research, I did find some facts on her:

1. Her name was Simone Kelsall. She appeared in a local ITV documentary broadcast in 1985 called Movin' For The Kill about herself (she was a teenager) wanting to be a pop star. Later in life, she got involved in making Euro-disco records under the name of just Simone.

2.  Many of her songs were written by Ben Findon and Miki Antony, who wrote her "Living Dangerously" performance in Japan at the World Popular Song Festival in 1986. Interestingly her entry at that Festival didn't seem to get any music release. Perhaps after that experience, she didn't want it release or her record company decided not to release it. 

3. It looks like she gave up her music career after the mid 80's and started a family some years later. Seeing some of her audio songs on YouTube, it looks like she ended up having children, as one of her daughters wrote a comment on YouTube claiming that she is proud of her mum's singing career.
