BLOOD was gushing from Eight Is Enough star Susan Richardson’s belly as she was rushed to the hospital for lifesaving treatment after her feeding tube exploded and severed a vein!

“I looked like I was SHOT,” says the 65-year-old, who played daughter Susan Bradford on the hit family drama. “The area around where my feeding tube is ruptured and I began to bleed uncontrollably.”

The dramatic medical crisis erupted when Susan returned to her home in a Coatesville, Pa., trailer park after serving as grand marshal in the local Independence Day parade.

“I had so much fun, but I may have overdid it,” she tells GLOBE.
