Louise spoke out after appearing on 32-year-old Sam's podcast Staying Relevant.
During their chat, Louise was asked to describe Sam' s ideal girlfriend and she said: "I'd love for you to try dating someone that has a normal job, that's outside of the media space. I think that could be exciting.
"You definitely need somebody that slightly puts you in your place, so who's gonna talk back to you, and not let you get away with everything."
Louise added: "If you're going to go down the fame route, can you just find someone that I would get along with. I'm thinking young British actress."
She suggested a good match for Sam would be Harry Potter star Emma Watson.
A clip of the podcast has now been shared on the official Instagram account for Staying Relevant.
Commenting on the footage, one follower was quick to mention Sam's ex Zara, who he split with in December last year.
She wrote: "I don't think Louise really ever liked Zara… don't blame her."
But Louise spotted the comment and was quick to set the fan straight.
Replying from her own account, she shot back: "I have to interject here. I actually really adored Zara."
Sam Thompson's sister Louise makes telling comments on 'really tricky breakups' as his ex Zara moves on with Louis Tomlinson
Louise's comment has been liked more than 2,000 times.
Backing her, one person replied: "It always seemed you got on so well. Hopefully it will be the same when he meets someone new . I'm sure it will.xx."
Another added: "I've always been a fan but you've just gone up 100% in my estimation!"
And a third said: "I'm glad that you put them right. you could always see that you like Zara from the videos you guys did together."
Sam and Zara split in December following a five year relationship.
Louise currently lives next door to Sam and Zara also lived in his property until their break up.
After the split, Louise did not address it directly but did speak about how "tricky" relationships can be on a podcast.
She explained on He Said She Said in March: "Being in a relationship is really hard because you can't convince the other person to share your line of thinking.
"And when it comes to things like breaking up or getting a divorce or choosing to have more kids, big decisions.
"If the person you're in front of doesn't agree with you on that, then that is really tricky."
Zara is now dating One Direction star Louis Tomlinson.
Last month it was confirmed Sam is seeing Love Island star Samie Elishi but that they are "taking it slow".
A source said: "They're still very much together, but are taking it slow.
"They're not interested in putting on a show for people and want to get to know each other properly away from the public eye."

Inside Glastonbury's poshest campsite where revellers fork out £38k for pool & cocktail bar – but there's a catch
From IV drips to mood lighting – this isn't your average tent PITCH UP Inside Glastonbury's poshest campsite where revellers fork out £38k for pool & cocktail bar – but there's a catch Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WELCOME to the most bouji campsite at Glastonbury where a top package will cost you a staggering £38,000 - without even a ticket to get in. The Pop-Up hotel is just a 10-minute walk from the festival site but it is a world away from the enormous tent city and infamous long-drop toilets used by the masses. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 11 The Pop-Up hotel is just a 10-minute walk from the festival site Credit: Adrian Sherratt 11 Bubbles in the tub and in the glass — The Sun reporter Alex West visits The Pop-Up Hotel Credit: Adrian Sherratt 11 A 24hr restaurant and bar keeps guests fed and watered while a DJ booth and live music acts provide round the clock entertainment Credit: Adrian Sherratt 11 Many of the rooms and bell tents - which start at £3,6990 - have already sold out Credit: SWNS 11 The posh tents, which can sleep up to 10, are held up with thick bamboo columns and come with an ensuite bathroom, sofas and mood lighting Credit: The Pop Up Hotel 11 The whole thing takes around four weeks to put up with many of the areas like the reception and restaurant bespoke made Credit: The Pop Up Hotel While most of the 200,000 music lovers will go without a shower for five days, those who can fork out the price of an average UK salary can even have a swim. The exclusive retreat boasts the Festival's only pool, complete with deck chairs, cocktail bar and gold painted naked Roman statues. Between sets guests luxuriate in a spa with saunas, ice baths, hot tubs with yoga and meditation, and even hook up to a vitamin IV drip. High rollers pay £28,000 for a five night stay in the top Tipi Tenthouse Suites and can be flown there by helicopter from London in just 40 minutes for another £10k. The posh tents, which can sleep up to 10, are held up with thick bamboo columns and come with an ensuite bathroom, sofas, mood lighting, dressing tables and extras including hangover pills, Lavazza coffee machines, hand held fans and electric toothbrushes. Also available are American RVs at £20,000 and Airstreams for £13k. The glamping site is the ultimate in cushiness and the polar opposite of the 'rolling-around-in-the-mud squalor' that many will associate with the biggest music festival on earth. Organisers are tight-lipped about who might be staying in the exclusive campsite but previous guests have included Rivals actor Aidan Turner, Made in Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh, model Daisy Lowe, and actor Steve Coogan, who left a review saying: 'Great atmosphere. Plenty of space to chill out and great food. I will be back.' Fim director Guy Ritchie hired the Pop-Up Hotel for his wedding with stars including Brad Pitt and Jason Statham as guests. Foo Fighters make surprise Glastonbury performance as The Churn Ups Others staying for Glasto include mega rich hedge fund managers, trustafarians and successful business people. It started off small in 2011 as the first luxury glamping accommodation with just 16 bell tents and has expanded every year into the '350 room hotel' it is now. The whole thing takes around four weeks to put up with many of the areas like the reception and restaurant bespoke made. Many of the rooms and bell tents - which start at £3,6990 - have already sold out. And some of the guests arrive on Friday afternoon and go home on Sunday, missing out on two of the nights they have paid for. A source told us: 'The people who stay here have a different level of money.' Managing director, Mark Sorrill, a local boy from Street, Somerset, is unashamedly proud of creating the elite paradise. He said: 'We've evolved to deliver an unparalleled festival experience for our hotel guests during Glastonbury matched with a 5* service found at any international boutique hotel. 'Our creative production team is busy putting their years of experience into delivering the finest immersive experience combining festival vibes with a boutique hotel's comfort; making The Pop-Up Hotel the perfect choice for a Glastonbury adventure to remember.' Guests are ferried around the site on brand new £90k electric Mini Mokes - more often seen on the French Riviera than in a field in Somerset. And for the filthy rich there is a wellness area run by legendary dance DJ Rob DaBank and his wife Josie where they can get clean and chill out. The couple's company Slomo invested in a series of Dutch wood-fired hot tubs where 'festival weary bodies' can float about after a hard night's dancing. And what festival spa complex would be complete without a Wim Hof-style ice bath. Josie, who also runs Camp Bestival with hubby Rob, said: 'It's just what you need to relax if you've been partying hard. 'People want the wellness.' DJ Rob also takes breathing workshops and Renee Stewart, daughter of rocker Rod, teaches yoga. And for the cut above customers there is even a salon 'pamper area' where they can buy festival clothes and get a Glasto glow-up. A 24hr restaurant and bar keeps guests fed and watered while a DJ booth and live music acts provide round the clock entertainment. Fun Loving Criminals Huey Morgan is among musicians putting on private shows at the hotel. For those with deep enough pockets the hotel offers 'the thrill of glamping with all the comfort, service and facilities you'd expect from a luxury boutique hotel' that can cater 'for every whim'. But have you really been to Glastonbury if you haven't camped in with the masses, got covered in mud, and queued for horrific toilets? 'Some people don't want any of that. They just want to go into the Festival site, enjoy the music and then sleep in a comfy bed and have a shower,' a source said. 'And if you've got the money, why not?'
