A former star of Channel 4 show Big Fat Gypsy Wedding was among a moped gang jailed after TV judge Amanda Holden exposed one of their raids.
John McFadyen was one of 12 men jailed for the attacks across London.
The 24-year-old was caught on camera targeting a woman with a young child in broad daylight in Richmond, West London.
He threatened to hurt the child if the victim did not hand over her rings.
The footage went viral after being circulated on social media by Ms Holden, a neighbour of the victim, who asked the public to "call 101 or 999 if u know these scumbags".
Judge Georgina Kent, sentencing at Kingston Crown Court, described the incident as an "exceptionally serious and shocking attempted robbery".
