Lee Priest's mother was also a famous bodybuilding competitor and appeared with Lee on stage posing together once.

However, he was reinstated back in the IFBB in June 2008 and given a chance to qualify again for the 2008 Mr. Olympia. But due to a torn bicep, he did not compete that year and instead planned to come back in the Australian IFBB Pro Grand Prix in 2009.
