Is it true that in the UK, a speeding ticket in your first year of holding a license can lose you your license?

I've only been driving a few days and still getting used to what limits are where in my area. I was traveling down a 40mph road for a while which I didn't notice turned into a 30mph road after a roundabout. I'm 99% sure I didn't get caught on the speed camera, but my friend has warned me to be wary of the post for the next few days, to make sure I don't get my license terminated! Is this true?
