Lace Morris will do just about anything to find her soulmate on Bachelor in Paradise.
In PEOPLE's exclusive clip of the series' upcoming season 8 premiere, Lace Morris from Ben Higgins' season decides to lie about her birthday in an attempt to get some attention.
"I feel hopeless in Paradise right now," she says in a confessional. "I'm the prettiest I've been, ever, and how am I not being pursued? It blows my mind." She then declares it's time for "something different" and walks up to the bar, telling bartender and Bachelorette alum Wells Adams how she is "32 today" with a big wink.
Wells, 38, plays along and tells Lace how she looks great for her age. Meanwhile, everyone else at the bar gets into the party spirit, offering to do birthday shots with Lace to celebrate.
But Lace soon admits in a confessional it's not actually her birthday. "I told somebody it was my birthday and they believed me and I ran with it," she says.
Wells hints that he's onto her and asks if it's really her birthday, but Lace shuts down his inquiry by telling him to "just go with it."
"Lace isn't getting a whole lot of attention," Wells says in a confessional. "She has the great idea to tell everyone it's her birthday. My birthday is closer to right now than Lace's birthday."
Lace then joins some of the ladies on the beach, telling them she was off celebrating her birthday, to which they all sent her well wishes. In a final confessional, Lace holds up a birthday cake with a lit candle and says, "People want to be fake in Paradise? I'll be fake too." She then blows out the candle as the clip ends.
This isn't Lace's first time in Paradise. She was engaged to Grant Kemp during the season 3 finale of the series in 2016. One of many returning cast members, she and newly married Adams are just two of the recognizable faces in season 8.
